Jarrah

Jarrah trees are all around us down here along with Marri and Karri.  They have nice straight bark and the branches don't hang down as much as Marri trees do.  Eucalyptus marginata grows up to 40 meters high.  Our beekeepers guide says 'honey flows erratic', which is funny and true.  Jarrah honey is:

• A powerful healer
• Tasty
• Unique to Western Australia
• High in antimicrobial strength – this is measured in Total Activity [TA]
• Limited edition as the tree only flowers every 2 years
• 2x higher in antioxidants than manuka

         Antioxidants occur naturally in honey in varying degrees.
        Antioxidants are compounds that help protect body cells against free radical damage           that leads to oxidation and subsequent cell damage. Free radicals can potentially                accelerate the ageing process and aid disease.
        The UAF® in Acacia honey ranges up to 80 whilst that of Manuka honey can be 300             and Jarrah honey around 600. [1].  The majority of Australian honeys are rated at                 UAF® 50 to 800, ​​more than 50 is considerable of high in antioxidants.  Source:                     http://uafinfo.org.au/antioxidants-uaf
