Manuka Honey
26 Answers
I've just had a bowl of porridge with half a teaspoon of Manuka honey stirred in. I don't enjoy it because I don't have a sweet tooth. I have the honey because it's 'good for me'.
Is Manuka honey all it's cracked up to be? Is it worth the extra money that you pay for a jar?

You can get +5 manuka honey in Aldi for £4.99. It has proven (in vitro) anti-bacterial properties. I like it on Greek yoghurt for breakfast and also use it to dress minor wounds, insect bites and find it very helpful for wounds that won't heal. I had a nasty insect bite that did not respond to normal antibacterial creams so I used the honey and within three days it had improved significantly. it tastes nice too x
Tilly I don't know if it is all Scottish honey that has the same properties as Manuka....there is a set of hives in Portobello Edinburgh that has been discovered to be as good....that honey is sold at the Portobello farmers market monthly....don't know if it is available elsewhere....but honey ..any honey must be better than refined sugar !
