Is Raw Manuka Honey Better?

Raw manuka honey is packed with many natural compounds - these active ingredients are responsible for its special antibacterial properties. Manuka honey is also antiviral and anti-inflammatory. It also has a higher ratio of antioxidants compared to regular honey.

Raw honey comes directly from the honeycombs - it is collected using gentle methods. Since it is unprocessed and unfiltered, it is packed with natural nutrients and high in pollen content. All of this lends more strength to your jar of honey and makes it a powerful superfood.

So, if you want to get the most out of manuka honey, always go for raw, unprocessed, and unheated manuka honey instead of regular (processed) honey.

Is a Spoonful of Manuka Honey Good for You?

Manuka honey, in its rawest form, is full of antioxidants and phenols - both of which work wonders for the body, especially heart health.

This unique cocktail of compounds also helps heal wounds, clear up infections and improve digestion.

Manuka honey has also been studied for its ability to improve metabolism and strengthen our immune system, which serves as the first line of defense against disease-causing germs.

To top it up, honey is also a powerful source of instant energy - so if you’re feeling lazy or fatigued, a spoonful of raw manuka honey would re-energise you in a jiffy.

Is Manuka Honey Really Worth It?

Yes - manuka honey has been extensively studied and many studies have confirmed its effectiveness in treating cuts, scrapes, wounds, eczema, acne, and other skin problems.

There is also some evidence that using manuka honey on a routine basis is good for overall oral health.

Studies found that pure manuka honey reduces the buildup of plaque, prevents dental cavities, and minimises the risk of gum disease.

MGO Rating:

testing to confirm it is packed with natural goodness. This step is vital to check the quality and ensure that we’re bringing you only the finest nature has to offer.

About MGO & UMF

MGO and UMF are two different indicators of how many bioactive compounds your raw manuka honey contains. In a way, both are a measure of the quality of the honey you’re about to consume - but there are some key differences.

MGO stands for methylglyoxal, a natural compound that gives manuka honey its unique properties, especially its antibacterial benefits. The MGO rate is an indicator of quality. The higher the MGO content of honey, the better it's quality.

UMF is short for Unique Manuka Factor. It is a system of measurement that covers the MGO count of manuka honey but also factors in some of the other active compounds found only in manuka honey. The UMF number is a standalone measure for both the quality and purity of manuka honey.

Is MGO or UMF Better?

Both the MGO and UMF readings are useful indicators in their own ways. They measure different things so they cannot be compared. But both can be useful in helping you decide how to put your manuka honey to use.

What Level of Manuka Honey is Best?

Manuka honey is good for you - but the best way to pick the right type of honey is to decide what you want to use it for:

• Table grade (MGO 83 - MGO 263) - ideal for daily consumption, include in your health chart,

beverages, salads or take it raw

• Moderate grade (MGO 263 - MGO 514) - is called the ‘therapeutic grade’ and is suitable for short-term consumption

• Higher grade manuka honey (MGO 514 - MGO 1200)- with higher MGO and UMF readings can be used for skin care (wound healing, skin therapy, etc)

MGO and UMF - Parity Chart

Even though MGO and UMF measure two different things, there is still a relationship between their values. Here is a rough parity chart to help you convert and determine the quality of manuka honey:

• UMF 5 = MGO83

• UMF10 = MGO263

• UMF15 = MGO514

• UMF20 = MGO829

• UMF25 = MGO1200

*This jar of Raw Manuka Honey by Nature’s Blends has an MGO count of 83+ and is perfect for everyday consumption.

The Manuka tree also called the Tea Tree (Leptospermum Scoparium) is a little evergreen shrub tree with sweet-scented flowers that come into bloom only briefly in spring and summer.

The Manuka Tree is truly special - it is picky and incredibly resilient. It only grows in New Zealand and some parts of Australia - but, within those regions, it can be seen everywhere: from rolling hills and lush mountains to lowlands and marshes dotting the meandering coastline.

The manuka tree has been growing for thousands of years. In the early days, manuka extracts were used by the locals to treat many illnesses and wounds of different kinds. The native Maori used manuka bark and leaves for healing purposes.

Manuka honey by Nature’s Blends is a monoflower honey - that means the bees gather nectar only from the manuka blooms. This gives our honey its unique flavor, texture, and nutrient profile.
