Puhoi Kanuka Honey is a product from Puhoi Honey, a New Zealand-based company. It's known for its unique characteristics and health benefits, often compared to its more famous cousin, Manuka honey.
Product Profile
Origin: Sourced from the Kanuka tree (Kunzea ericoides), a native New Zealand plant that is a close relative of the Manuka tree.
Appearance and Texture: Puhoi Kanuka honey is described as having a dark color and a naturally granulated, smooth, or velvety texture. It is often sold in its raw, unprocessed form, which means it will have a different consistency than liquid honey.
Flavor and Aroma: It has a distinct and strong flavor, often with rich, floral, and sometimes butterscotch notes. Many people find it delicious and a great alternative to Manuka honey, which can be more intense.
Production: Puhoi Honey emphasizes that their Kanuka honey is 100% raw, unpasteurized, and unheated, preserving its natural enzymes and nutrients.
Key Health Benefits and Uses
Kanuka honey is gaining recognition for its therapeutic properties, particularly for topical applications. Anti-inflammatory and Antimicrobial Properties: Research has shown that Kanuka honey has strong anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, largely due to high levels of hydrogen peroxide and unique compounds called arabinogalactans.
Skin Care: It is particularly effective for treating various skin conditions. Studies have demonstrated its efficacy in managing:
Rosacea: Clinical trials have shown it can significantly reduce the symptoms of this chronic skin condition.
Acne: It can help inhibit the bacteria responsible for acne and reduce inflammation.
Eczema and Cold Sores: It is anecdotally and clinically used to soothe and heal these conditions.
Wound Healing: Its antibacterial properties make it a natural treatment for burns, cuts, and other wounds.
Awards and Recognition
Some Kanuka honeys have received awards, such as being a category winner in the "World's Best Tasting Honey" contests, which speaks to their quality and flavor.
