Wholesale New Zealand Active Manuka Honey Powder

Ultimately Natural's Wholesale Manuka Honey Powder from New Zealand's most potent Monofloral Active Manuka Honey Powder with up to MGO250+ at a 70% honey solids to 30% maltodextrin ratio. 

Honey Powder Properties

Honey powder is very hygroscopic. It quickly dissolves in water (especially hot water) and when exposed to the atmosphere, will absorb moisture from the air, soon becoming sticky and slowly over a matter of hours, it will turn back into a liquid honey.

Honey Powder Manufacturing

The basic process allows for drying of the honey into a useable everyday powder, ready for use as a sugar substitute or applicable in other food and or cosmetic blends.

 We generally add maltodextrin as a powder stabilizer, in the ratio of 10 - 30% (to 70-90% dried honey solids) to assist the powder stay in powdered form. With maltodextrin, the honey will stay in powdered form for longer. At 30% maltodextrin, the powder will have at least a 2 year shelf life, provided it is stored out of direct sunlight and below 25 degrees Celsius.

Origin of source: All our honey in this range is produced and packed in NZ. It is 100% NZ honey. 

NZ law prohibits the importation of foreign honey, so honey exported directly from NZ is guaranteed to be 100% of NZ origin, it can not have been diluted with cheaper foreign honey. Additionally, only NZ has a regulated government standard that must be met for all manuka honey exports.  https://www.mpi.govt.nz/food-business/honey-bee-products-processing-requirements/manuka-honey-testing/ .

NZ law also prohibits the use of antibiotics to treat for bee diseases (AFB, EFB). All our honey is guaranteed to be free from any antibiotic residues.
