About Manuka honey

Manuka honey is honey produced from nectar of the mānuka plant in New Zealand and nearby regions. Like other honeys, it is a thick, pourable sweetener, usually amber in colour, with a distinctive, often robust flavour that varies between batches.

It is sold as liquid honey and may crystallize during storage. It is used as a spread or sweetener in foods and drinks. Commercial grades and labels can distinguish products by origin or testing schemes, but those designations do not by themselves describe a different culinary form.
