Manuka honey is produced in New Zealand from two plants, both of which are from time to time called manuka. The most common honey source of these is Leptospermum scoparium, and of the two, is the most commonly called manuka.
The other is Kunzea ericoides (but formerly known as Leptospermum ericoides) and is called manuka and kanuka, with kanuka being the more common usage.
One area that is of particular interest regarding manuka honey is its antibacterial activity. Often this is just shortened to "Active" or "Active Manuka".
Nutritionally manuka honey is rich in proteins and nutrients.
