Description
Watson & Son Certified MGS 20+ Manuka Honey is harvested from some of the most remote and pristine regions of New Zealand, from the flowers of our native Manuka Tree.
Unlike other types of honey, Manuka Honey is renowned for its special properties and has been treasured by the indigenous Maori people of New Zealand for centuries. Honey harvested from bees visiting the flowers of the Manuka tree contains a unique component called Methylglyoxal (‘MGO’), and its presence in verified amounts is what sets it apart from other honeys.
Watson & Son MGS 20+ Manuka Honey is guaranteed to contain Methylglyoxal at least 800mg/kg.
Consumers can be confident in Watson & Son products, knowing each batch of Watson & Son Manuka Honey is tested for its Methylglyoxal content by a certified laboratory, and accorded an MGS rating that refers to the level of Methylglyoxal present.
