The taste of honey is relatively well-known across all stretches of the world; however, Mānuka honey is no ordinary honey. One of the most common descriptions of 100% pure New Zealand honey is the notable “earthy” flavour. Unlike conventional honey, there is a charming nutty note that works alongside a pleasant medium sweetness. To understand what Mānuka honey tastes like, it’s encouraged that you experiment with different UMF™ strengths, as flavour potency is known to increase with higher UMF™.
Mānuka honey is genuinely versatile; feel free to add a drizzle of this New Zealand treasure to any meal. Morning smoothie bowl, a lunchtime salad or even a glazed salmon dinner - your options for using this luxurious gold are truly endless.
Can Mānuka honey be added to beverages? Absolutely! A teaspoon of pure Mānuka honey to your daily cup of tea or coffee will elevate it to a tasty and premium new level. Even if your throat is feeling a bit scratchy, you may even appreciate the soothing effect this honey may have. An age-old treatment, PURITI Mānuka honey provides finely-crafted and velvety Mānuka honey that will be an absolute treat for your throat.
Naturally occurring products like fruit, dairy and honey contain natural sugars like fructose and lactose. Due to their slower release of energy, there has been speculation that natural sweeteners may be digested slower and allow for a more sustained release of energy. Added or artificial sweeteners don’t work in the same mechanism and are more commonly stored in the body as fat.
As a potent sweetener, Mānuka honey still contains high concentrations of sugar and, as such, should be controlled and measured like any other sugar.
If you’re looking to use pure monofloral Mānuka honey as a natural alternative to sugar, you may not need to venture into the ultra-premium varieties. Entry-level Mānuka honey, such as UMF™ 5+ or UMF™ 10+ will be the perfect addition to your meals or drinks.
