Frequently Asked Questions

What does UMF 5+ mean?

UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) is New Zealand's quality certification system for Manuka honey. UMF 5+ is the entry-level grade, verifying a minimum level of the three key Manuka markers. It is ideal for daily wellness use and as a natural health-conscious sweetener.

Is 250g enough for a month's supply?

At a typical daily dose of 1–2 teaspoons (approximately 7–14g per day), a 250g jar provides approximately 2–4 weeks of daily use. The 500g size offers better value for ongoing daily use.

How does UMF 5+ compare to UMF 10+ or higher?

Higher UMF grades contain higher concentrations of MGO and other bioactives. UMF 5+ is appropriate for general wellness and everyday use. UMF 10+ and above are chosen for more targeted therapeutic applications (gut health, wound care, throat) where higher potency is desired.

Can I cook with UMF 5+ Manuka honey?

You can use Manuka honey in cooking, but heating above 40°C significantly degrades the active MGO and beneficial enzymes. For maximum health benefit, use raw and unheated. It is best added to warm (not hot) drinks, smoothies, or used as a cold spread.

How should I store Manuka honey?

Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not refrigerate — cold temperatures cause crystallisation. Crystallisation is natural and does not indicate spoilage; gently warm the jar in warm water to re-liquefy if desired.
