Yes Manuka honey is apparently where it's at! I don't usually have honey but I had this in the cupboard when I was first making the flapjacks...however I'm not sure what cooking it at that temperature does to it's medicinal properties,but it does help keep them together.
Manuka honey,(what little I know of it )has medicinal properties I think it ranges from a low UMF factor from around UMF 5 up to UMFof 20,the higher the more potent,I think,the higher UMF smells medicinal,slightly antiseptic kind of like teatree.
I keep a jar of umf 5 for stuff like making flapjacks and a jar of umf 20 for anyone with sorethroats /colds etc.
Manuka gives instant relief from a sore throat.usually take half hour away from food. It's powerful. It is also known to heal stomach and leg ulsers taken both internally and rubbed on the skin. amazing honey. I remember there was an article about it in the paper last year which I kept somewhere.I'll see if there's anymore info in that.
It really is expensive the umf 5 around 10 euros and the umf 20 is 40 euros,but it is so precious & powerful, potent.It is definitely worth the expense. I would love to find out more about that honey and how it's created.
It tastes great too.You can tell it's pure &special.Exceptional quality.
I am going to bring my son to see the Bee movie this week, have you seen it yet? so I might be more precious about honey after that.
