It is quite common for honey producers around the world to claim their honey is the best. Many countries even pride themselves on their honey. However when you look at all the different honey from all the different corners of the world unbiasedly, it becomes very clear that there is one type of honey that takes the throne - New Zealand's very own Manuka honey.
The beauty of true science lies in its objectivity - it is driven by facts, not opinion. Among all the types of honey, Manuka stands out as the most extensively researched, and for good reason. Long before Manuka gained global recognition, honey had already earned its place in traditional medicine for its healing properties, and was already being extensively researched. But when Manuka honey was discovered, scientists were captivated by its uniquely potent qualities and quickly shifted focus to studying it more deeply.
What followed was a wave of research breakthroughs. Manuka honey began making headlines in medical science for its potential across a wide range of applications, from skin healing and gut health to cancer research and beyond. That momentum has never slowed. Today, Manuka honey remains a focal point in scientific studies, with new discoveries emerging year after year, further cementing its place as one of nature’s most extraordinary gifts. When compared to other honey in a unbiased setting, Manuka honey always come out on top.
Due to the extent of promise it shows, and the extreme uniqueness of Manuka honey's properties, it is not only the most researched honey on Earth, Manuka honey is among the most researched natural substances on Earth for health and medicine (7th most researched as of 2025) even sitting above things like Black Seed Oil and Ashwagandha!
It's no wonder why Manuka honey is one of the few natural ingredients approved by the FDA for medical use in a medical setting, and is widely used in various hospitals around the globe!
