Manuka is a type of plant that is native to New Zealand. The scientific name for this plant is Leptospermum scoparium. Manuka plants have small, white or pink flowers that bloom in the spring and summer, and they can grow up to 5 meters in height.

The nectar from the flowers of the Manuka plant is used by bees to make Manuka honey, which has unique properties due to the plant’s high concentration of methylglyoxal (MGO), a compound that has been shown to have antibacterial properties.
