Is Raw Manuka Honey Better?

Raw honey is healthier because it is full of pollen content, natural compounds, and friendly enzymes. Processed honey that has been filtered or refined loses some of its natural potency.

Manuka honey is a monoflower honey with special properties. It has a unique nutrient profile that is responsible for its potent anti-germ properties.

The best way to consume manuka honey is to go for high-quality raw honey that is cold harvested and unfiltered. Since it is unprocessed, it’s packed with natural goodness that makes the manuka experience special.

About MGO & UMF

MGO and UMF are two different indicators used to gauge the quality and purity of manuka honey. Both the MGO and UMF ratings can help you decide which variety of honey will suit you best - but in different ways.

MGO or the methylglyoxal (MG) levels of honey are important.  MG is responsible for the special antimicrobial properties of manuka honey. The higher the MGO rating of manuka honey, the more the levels of methylglyoxal and the better it's quality.

UMF is a different grading system. It stands for the Unique Manuka Factor. The UMF rating measures the levels of some bio-actives exclusive to manuka honey in addition to its MG levels. It is considered an indication of the honey’s purity as well as quality.

Is MGO or UMF Better?

Both are useful indicators in their own right. They both measure different things so they cannot be compared directly. But both MGO and UMF grading systems can help you decide which variety and potency of raw manuka honey will suit your purpose best.

What Level of Manuka Honey is Best?

Raw high-grade varieties of manuka honey (with higher MGO or UMF values) are better for therapeutic use, topical application, and cosmetic purposes since they are more potent.

Milder table grade varieties are suitable for everyday consumption. If you are taking manuka honey for health reasons, using medium-grade honey might work best for you:

• Table grade (UMF 5-UMF 10) - ideal for daily consumption, include in your health chart, beverages, salads or take it raw
• Moderate grade (UMF 10 - UMF15) - is called the ‘therapeutic grade’ and is suitable for short-term consumption
• Higher grade manuka honey (UMF 15- 25)- with higher MGO and UMF readings can be used for skincare (wound healing, skin therapy, etc

MGO and UMF - Parity Chart

MGO and UMF measure different things but there’s still a relationship between their values. This rough parity chart can help you decide which potency of raw manuka would suit you best:

• UMF 5 = MGO83
• UMF10 = MGO263
• UMF15 = MGO514
• UMF20 = MGO829
• UMF25 = MGO1200
