Manuka honey is honey derived from the flowers of the Manuka tree, which grows naturally in New Zealand.
The indigenous Māori people of New Zealand refer to the Manuka tree as the "sacred healing tree" and have used it for health purposes since ancient times.
This product is 100% honey produced in New Zealand.
"**MGO 400+**" indicates that the honey contains at least 400 mg of methylglyoxal per kilogram.
◆ About Manuka Honey
Manuka is a low-growing tree native to New Zealand. It blooms from mid-November to December, early summer in New Zealand, producing numerous delicate white or pale pink flowers.
Manuka honey is made by bees that collect nectar from these flowers.
The flowering period lasts approximately four weeks. Because honey can only be harvested during this brief period and only in limited regions, Manuka honey is considered a highly rare honey. It is also rich in a special component called MGO (methylglyoxal), which is scarcely found in other types of honey.
◆ Manuka Honey and New Zealand
The Manuka tree has been an integral part of the Māori people's life for a long time. In the Māori language, it means "resurrection tree" or "healing tree."
In New Zealand, an island nation with a unique ecosystem and abundant natural environment, the Manuka tree grew naturally, and beekeeping introduced from the West led to the production of Manuka honey.
Furthermore, the Manuka tree, which thrives even in harsh natural conditions, is widely used in fields such as environmental conservation and forest regeneration.
◆ What is MGO?
MGO, a special component found in Manuka honey, stands for methylglyoxal. The number next to MGO indicates how many milligrams (mg) of methylglyoxal are contained per kilogram of honey.

◆ Regarding Residual Pesticides (Glyphosate) in Manuka Honey
In August 2020, a report based on a survey conducted by the New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries indicated that residues of the pesticide glyphosate were detected in high-quality honey from New Zealand, "Manuka Honey."
However, analyses conducted in Japan found no such residues.
