Kiwis

This question is for all Kiwis, is Manuka Honey all that they make it to be or is just a nice story, I like the test but not the price.

[Brangwyn]

According to everything I've ever read it is worth the money, the beneficial properties are pretty well documented.

Thanks Brangwyn I been using it for years now,but lately the prices are out of this world like $30.00 for 9 oz 250gm. Is it that expensive your way too?

[Brangwyn]

Wow that is expensive ! $30 US is about $45-$50 over here, you can buy pretty good quality raw Manuka honey over here 500gm for about $15 or less (thats under $10 US) at the supermarket !

Not sure if this link will work, but its just an online supermarket over here (if it doesn't work just do a search on Manuka using their online form thingy).

Thanks Brangwyn, Manuka is good my brother had stomach ulser for years,I told him to use Manuka and yes it worked. The reason I talked about it is, I have a sore throat and I use honey for it.
Thanks again for the info, I'll let you know what happen.

$30.00 for 9 oz 250gm

damn i need to start importing honey to the states

[Brangwyn]

Yeah I reckon, could be quite a profitable wee enterprise !

[TonyK]

It cross my mind too, by the way the prices at that site are great, now if I could buy from them.

[Brangwyn]

I can find out how much it would cost to send you some (assuming I don't need any fancy license to export food), of course the supermarket stuff isn't UMF rated/tested usually so isn't guaranteed to be as effective (if even at all).

I did a bit of searching though and found this place online which seems to have some fairly reasonable prices

Shipping costs seem to be the killer, but it looks like you can order 2 500gm jars and have them shipped Air post (7-10 days delivery) for about $92 NZ which is about $58-$60 US so thats about half what your paying now I guess.

[TonyK]

Thanks for the offer Brangwyn, but I don't want you to send me anything,all I want it to know was a litle more about it.Here we get the Comvita and some other brands and the best UMF level is 5. Thanks for the links now I can order a better honey from what we got here.

Your welcome.
