Ingredient
Why Manuka honey for children?
Our child-healthy Manuka honeys are characterized by their age-appropriate MGO value , which is naturally suitable for two age groups : 1-10 years and 10-16 years.
Its smell and taste are unique and cannot be compared to conventional honey. The polyphenols and flavonoids naturally contained in Manuka honey make our children's Manuka honey something very special.
Due to its numerous positive properties, Manuka honey can be used for the preparation of home remedies as well as for sweetening liquids and foods.
Quality
Where does Manuka honey come from?
The special child-healthy Manuka honey for children comes from the nectar of the rare flowers of New Zealand's South Sea myrtles , which were once used as a medicinal plant by the native Maori. They grow in the natural mountain regions of New Zealand and can develop from small bushes into trees up to 8 m high.
Our hives are placed near flowering Manuka plants so that the bees can collect the nectar and process it into honey. After harvesting, the honey is extracted, filtered and quality tested to ensure it contains the required levels of Methylglyoxal (MGO).
The safety and origin of our Manuka honey is of course checked regularly. To the test report
Things to know
What does MGO mean?
The special effect of Manuka honey is largely determined by the MGO content and its purity . The MGO value indicates the amount of this ingredient in milligrams per kilogram and serves as a quality measure for the honey. Methylglyoxal can also be found in small amounts in other types of honey, but the higher the MGO value in the honey, the higher the quality.
The MGO concentration in child-healthy Manuka honey, at over 400+, has been optimally adapted to the needs of children from the age of 10 .
For comparison, a regular flower honey has an MGO value of 0 to a maximum of 20, while Manuka honey can reach an MGO value of up to 1000+.
Suitable for my child?
Due to the MGO content of 400+, consumption is recommended from the age of 10 at the earliest .
Honestly good
Of course, our honeys are natural and contain no added sugar syrup or aromatic oils. They also differ in consistency and child-friendly taste.

FAQ - The most frequently asked questions
Depending on the MGO content , Manuka honey can be consumed by children from the age of 1. However, as with all honey, it should not be given to infants under one year of age due to the risk of botulism infections.
We recommend consumption for children aged 1-10 years with an MGO content of up to 200. With an MGO content of over 400, it is suitable for children aged 10 to 14 years .
For children aged 1 to 10 years, an MGO value of 200 is suitable. For children aged 10 to 14 years, the value can be increased to Manuka honey with MGO 400 .
Proper storage of Manuka honey is crucial to maintaining its quality and effectiveness over the long term. Storage instructions:
- Do not store below 6 °C (not in the refrigerator) and not above 25 °C.
- Avoid moisture.
- Store in a dark and dry place.
- Avoid contamination.
Our child-healthy Manuka honey is delivered in an opaque glass container with a screw lid to protect the quality.
If stored correctly, honey will last much longer than stated. However, by law, a best-before date (BBD) must be indicated on commercially sold foods. Manuka honey has a best-before date of two years from the bottling date.
MGO (methylglyoxal) is a natural ingredient that gives Manuka honey its valuable properties. The concentration of MGO in Manuka honey varies and is often used to evaluate its quality and effectiveness.
MGO is formed from the sugar dihydroxyacetone, which is found in the nectar of New Zealand Manuka flowers (South Sea myrtle).
The consistency of honey can change, so liquid honey can crystallize over time.
While many people appreciate the creamy texture of crystallized honey, it is important to emphasize that crystallization, on the one hand, shows that the honey has not been heated too much to preserve its valuable nutrients and enzymes.
Likewise, crystallization of honey can also be a batch-related variation. This natural solidification can be influenced by various factors such as temperature fluctuations, flower composition and storage conditions.
