Mānuka honey () is a monofloral honey produced from the nectar of the mānuka tree, ''Leptospermum scoparium''. The mānuka tree is indigenous to New Zealand and some parts of coastal Australia. The word ''mānuka'' is the Māori name of the tree; however, as with many Māori words, the older spelling ''manuka'' (without a macron) remains relatively common in English. Identification Mānuka honey is produced by European honey bees (''Apis mellifera'') foraging on the mānuka (''Leptospermum scoparium''), which evidence suggests originated in Australia before the onset of the Miocene aridity. It grows uncultivated throughout both southeastern Australia and New Zealand. Mānuka honey is markedly viscous due to the presence of a protein or colloid – its main visually defining characteristic, along with its typical dark cream to dark brown colour. The mānuka tree flowers at the same time as '' Kunzea ericoides'', another Myrtaceae species also called kānuka, which ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Origin story In ''Ngā Waka o Neherā'' (2009), Jeff Evans writes that ''Mānuka'' was built from the same ''tōtara'' tree as ''Āraiteuru'', her sister ''waka'' (canoe). There was a dispute between Tua-kakariki, who first found the log on the beach, and Rongo-i-tua, a visitor who was eager to return home. To stake his claim, Rongo-i-tua had deposited his own excrement on the log while Tua-kakariki was away trying to assemble a work party to move it. Rongo-i-tua was awarded the log and g ...
