Manuka Honey Recipes
Recently, we shared the health benefits of manuka honey, outlining how the miraculous ingredient promotes skin healing, fights deadly bacteria, improves digestive function, and so much more.

It’s also an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamins B3 and B6, calcium, iron, magnesium, copper, manganese, phosphorous, potassium, sodium, zinc, and amino acids.

Because manuka honey contains an average of four times more nutrients per serving than raw honey, we think it’s certainly an ingredient you want to include in your daily life as much as possible.
