TA35+ Single Origin Raw Jarrah Honey – 300g

Natures cure for those who want the gift of health and vitality.

• Rich amber coloured honey. Not as sweet as other honeys and has a deep and complex caramel-like flavour.
• A mono-floral honey produced from the nectar of the Jarrah tree (Eucalyptus marginata). Endemic to the southwest of Western Australia.
• Jarrah trees can live up to 1,000 years and are very slow growing, taking 120 years to reach full maturity (to be able to produce their best honeys!). The individual trees only produce flowers for a few months every 4 years.
• Jarrah honey has high antibacterial and antimicrobial activity and due to its high hydrogen peroxide level, it can inhibit Golden Staph bacteria (which can cause a range of mild to severe infections).

Raw honey has been extensively used as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of numerous diseases and demonstrates beneficial effects in many physiological systems, for example, the cardiovascular, nervous, respiratory and gastrointestinal systems.

RAW HONEY AS A THERAPEUTIC AGENT FOR THE TREATMENT

Antimicrobial Properties

The antibacterial activity of jarrah honey is attributed and influenced by various properties of honey, such as low water content, high viscosity, acidity, hydrogen peroxide content, peptides, non-peroxidase glycopeptides and proteins. Hydrogen peroxide content is believed to be the two biggest contributing factors to antibacterial properties in this honey.

Industry recognised measurement of honey antibacterial activity is Total Activity (TA): A measure of the antimicrobial potency (bacterial + fungal) of honey. It is determined by the level of hydrogen peroxide and non-peroxide antimicrobial activity present in the honey. Expressed as %phenol which is a scientific measure of total antibacterial activity. The higher the number, the higher the honeys antimicrobial activity. This Jarrah honey has been laboratory tested and confirmed to have a TA rating of TA35+.

There are a range of different measures on honey jars which are measuring completely different things. However, they are all reasonable measurements to signify the quality of honey. Understanding that these measurements are different, the industry has broad acceptance that TA35+ is broadly equivalent to: NPA 33+, MGO 2001+, UMF™ 35+.

Probiotic Properties

Jarrah honey has a Positive Probiotic Index, with jarrah scoring 0.91.
