Jarrah and Marri Honey: Superior Alternatives to Medical Grade Manuka Honey

Not All Honey is Created Equal

When it comes to honey, not all varieties are created equal. Enter Jarrah and Marri honey, two exquisite treasures that stand tall against the well-known Manuka honey. These unique honeys, sourced from the pristine ancient forests of Western Australia, offer a unique combination of flavors and unmatched health benefits to boost your healthy lifestyle.

The Unmatched Jarrah Honey

Discover the rich, complex notes of Jarrah honey, made from the nectar of the majestic Jarrah tree. Not to be compared with cheap, ordinary honey from the supermarket, Jarrah honey is not just a treat for your taste buds; it’s an antimicrobial powerhouse packed with antioxidants. 

If you're familiar with Manuka honey and its strength ratings, you'll immediately recognize that KOORA's Jarrah honey with a total activity (TA) rating of 35+ exceeds the highest levels of all Manuka honey, even the most premium Manuka honey that costs well over $1,000.

With its unsurpassed levels of healthy benefits, Jarrah honey supports your body’s immune system, helping you feel vibrant and alive. Each spoonful is a celebration of nature’s goodness, a reminder that health can be delicious. Did we mention that Jarrah honey is also one of the rare honeys with a low glycemic index (GI)?

Marri Honey from the Medicine Tree

Now, let’s talk about Marri honey, another gem that deserves your attention. Marri trees (Corymbia calophylla) grow exclusively in the remote southwest of Western Australia, where it is known by the Aboriginal Noongar people as the medicine tree for its impressive health benefits that have been used by indigenous peoples for thousands of years.

Marri honey is a true testament to the wonders of nature. It boasts natural antibacterial properties, making it a fantastic ally for your overall wellness. The sweet, floral notes of Marri honey dance on your palate, providing a delightful experience that is both soothing and invigorating. Like Jarrah honey, Marri honey also has a low glycemic index.

Comparing Jarrah, Marri, and Manuka Honey

What sets Jarrah and Marri honey apart from Manuka honey? While Manuka has gained popularity in recent years, it often comes with a hefty price tag and varying quality. In contrast, Jarrah and Marri honeys provide superior potency, higher antioxidant levels, lower GI and greater purity, at a price that gives you far greater value.

The Hidden Dangers of Methylglyoxal (MGO) in Manuka Honey

Manuka honey commands its high price relative to its level of MGO, the active ingredient that gives Manuka honey its antibacterial properties. The higher the MGO, the higher the price.

But high MGO is also linked to a whole range of serious diseases.

Here are a couple scientific studies on Methylglyoxal:

• Methylglyoxal, a potent inducer of AGEs, connects between diabetes and cancer
• The expanding impact of methylglyoxal on behavior-related disorders

For more information and scientific references, see our article on the Dangers of Methylglyoxal (MGO).

Jarrah honey and Marri honey do not derive their benefits from MGO, and are therefore safe from the risks associated with this highly reactive chemical compound.

Glyphosate and Agricultural Contaminants in Honey

In the past few years, several shipments of Manuka honey have been rejected by Japanese authorities for exceeding Japan’s glyphosate limits, even though the Manuka honey companies state that their honey is glyphosate residue free. The reason for the discrepancy is that Japan has stricter regulations for glyphosate levels in honey with a limit of 0.01 parts per million, 10 times stricter than New Zealand’s regulation of 0.1 ppm. At KOORA we test as glyphosate free down to 0.004 ppm, the lowest detectable level that’s 25 times stricter than the limits for New Zealand’s Manuka honey.

Jarrah and Marri honey are sustainably sourced from wild forests that are free from genetically modified (GMO) crops and agricultural chemicals such as glyphosate and other pesticides, ensuring that you receive a product with supreme purity that is completely free from harmful chemicals. This commitment to quality means you can indulge in these honeys with confidence, knowing you’re making a healthy choice for yourself and your family.

Taste and Texture

Finally, the flavor profiles of Jarrah and Marri honeys are exceptional. Described by our customers as “spectacular”, “sublime”, “smooth”, “buttery”, caramel-like”, “best tasting honey”, “amazing”, “extremely less medicinal tasting than Manuka honey”. Use Jarrah or Marri honey as a natural sweetener drizzled over warm toast, swirl them into your morning tea or smoothie, or enjoy them on their own, which is our favorite way to savor raw Jarrah and Marri honey - a teaspoon in the morning and one before bed. The possibilities are endless, and each use fills you with the pure goodness of nature from Australia’s untouched ancient forests.
