Australian Manuka Honey
What Is Australian Manuka Honey?
Australia: The Origin of Manuka
While Manuka honey is now known globally, few realize that its botanical roots trace back to Australia. Australia is the original home of the Manuka plant – Leptospermum – with over 80 native species flourishing across its diverse climate zones. In fact, Australia is where Manuka first evolved over millions of years, long before it reached New Zealand’s shores.
What Makes It Special
- Derived from Leptospermum nectar
- Contains naturally occurring MGO (Methylglyoxal), the source of Manuka’s antibacterial strength
- Rich in antioxidants, enzymes, and bioactive compounds
Unique Australian Advantage
- 84 of the world’s 87 known Manuka species grow in Australia
- Long sunshine hours → Higher natural MGO concentrations
- Stable harvests, lower risk of seasonal variation
Scientific Validation
A study published by the Sydney Morning Herald found that Australian Manuka honey is at least as potent as its New Zealand counterpart in terms of antibacterial activity. This reinforces the fact that Australian Manuka honey offers exceptional quality and health benefits.

What Makes Manuka Honey Unique?
Unlike regular honey, Manuka honey contains high levels of methylglyoxal (MGO), a compound responsible for its potent antibacterial effects. The Non-Peroxide Activity (NPA) rating measures this antibacterial strength, ensuring you get a product with verified efficacy.
