The ornate Manuka flower is a fickle beauty, only appearing for a short period of time during the summer months, and only if conditions are suitable. It blossoms on the Leptospermum Scoparium tree, which is indigenous to New Zealand. Highly prized because of its long lasting antibacterial, anti-fungal and natural healing properties, Manuka is proven to help accelerate wound healing, and is approved under the strict standards of the Food & Drug Association for this purpose. 

Treasured and respected in New Zealand, and in homes worldwide for use as a natural wellness booster, on a number of skin conditions and for faster healing of scratches and grazes. 

Used in smoothies, on cereal, on toast or in tea, the immune boosting properties of Manuka are beneficial to anyone as an everyday supplement, with higher strengths eaten by the spoonful, or applied directly to the skin for a more targeted health and healing boost. 

I believe all sugar should be replaced with unrefined sweeteners, and the amazing thing about Manuka is its natural antibacterial, antifungal and propbiotic properties which speed up the wound healing process. 

Steens don’t process their honey, and they don’t heat treat it. Combined with the lack of fine filtering, this means what you’re getting in your jar of Steens honey is as close to what comes from the beehive as it possibly can be, meaning that you’re getting all the naturally occurring properties like beebread, wax particles, bio-availble pollen and nectar, and that’s what gives it such a unique flavour and texture. 

Steens honey is unique to other Manuka honeys because it contains the highest levels of a substance called bee bread. You may have already heard about bee pollen and how nutritious it is. Bee Bread is among one of the oldest dietary supplements known to man, and is widely recognised as a nourishing and complete natural food.
