Maple Syrup, Honey and Breads Information Page Maple Syrup. Our Old Fashion Canadian maple syrup is collected locally in an old fashioned style pan, done like this for generations by farmers. It has no additives added, no preservatives, no added flavor enhancers or colours, just the beauty of its natural taste and flavor. It is available in two sizes of glass jars, 16 fl.oz / 500 ml and 32 fl.oz /1 liter.  Raw Honey.  Our raw honey, collected around the beautiful shores of Lake Huron, is absolutely the best Natural Honey you have ever tasted. It is straight from the hive to the jar. It is not heated or pasteurized, nothing is removed or added to its natural flavor. Studies have shown commercially processed honeys lose from 33-50 % of original vitamin content. All varieties of raw, unprocessed honey are nutrient rich. Important vitamins, minerals and trace elements in raw honey include A, betacarotene, B-complex, C, D, E, Magnesium, Sulfur, Potassium, Phosphorous, Iron, Calcium, Iodine, Sodium, Copper and Manganese. Raw Honey also contains the highest content of live enzymes of all foods as well as a small quantity of an unknown substance, another mysterious enrichment courtesy of the bees, an element science cannot identify, cannot synthesize or manufacture. Manuka Honey. Comvita Manuka Honey ® is sourced from New Zealand's remote, pollution free native forests and is world renowned for its high antibacterial activity. Comvita Manuka Honey is tested to ensure an antibacterial activity greater than standard antiseptic (4 % carbolic equivalent). It has a distinctively rich flavour and aroma, can be eaten by the spoonful, used as a spread or added to hot beverages. It contains not only life supporting vitamins and minerals, but naturally occurring enzymes. These aid functions such as digestion, cell regeneration, tissue repair, bone maintenance, muscle activity and even thinking itself! Raw Honey also contains valuable natural sugars in bio-available glucose and fructose form, which provide slow release, sustained energy lasting for hours.   UMF® (Unique Manuka Factor) represents bacterial killing power unique to Manuka Honey and was first identified by Dr. Peter Molan at the University of Waikato. All Manuka Honey has antibacterial properties, including an enzyme which when diluted produces hydrogen peroxide, but Manuka Honey with UMF® rating has extra ability to fight bacteria. This ability varies and Comvita uses an independent laboratory to verify the UMF® strength of our products. Only honeys with a UMF® rating higher than 10 can use the UMF® trademark. UMF® Manuka Honey has been used in the treatment of wounds and burns. It has 2  1/2 times the bacteria-killing power of standard antiseptic. It reduces infection, it absorbs moisture and dries a wound and helps to kill bacteria because it dries them our. It also assists in the growth of new cell tissues. When honey is put on a wound before applying a sterile cotton dressing, the honey acts as a liquid barrier between the wound and the dressing. When the dressing is changed, the barrier protects the new cells growing in the wound from being torn away with the dressing material. It helps to stimulate wound healing.  Comvita Beechwood Honey is sourced from dark, aromatic sap of New Zealand beech trees, that honey bees collect and turn unto rich, flavorsome honey that remains  naturally liquid.   Kefir.
