Spotlight on Manuka Honey Grades
Purchasing Manuka honey can feel a little
intimidating due to the grading system assigned
to the product. All genuine New Zealand Manuka
honey is graded within a laboratory setting. This
may sound a little more scientific than you like
to get with your shopping, but Manuka honey
grades are vital for a range of reasons.

Manuka honey grades primarily revolve around two
scores the presence of methylglyoxal (MGO) and
the Unique Manuka Factor (UMF). Only genuine New
Zealand Manuka honey, extracted directly from a
native plant, will enjoy a high UMF score. Manuka
Direct supplies a certificate of authenticity
with our products, ensuring that all ingredients
can be traced back to the source and assure you
that the Manuka honey grade is backed by evidence.

• The question remains though what do these
  Manuka honey grades actually mean? As discussed,
  there are two scores to concern yourself with,
  MGO and UMF. Methylglyoxal is the ingredient that
  makes New Zealand the highly sought-after product
  that it is, packed with goodness. Genuine New
  Zealand Manuka honey will also contain
  dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which confirms the age of
  the honey, and leptosperin. The latter is
  particularly important, as this compound cannot
  be artificially added to a product.
• When researching Manuka grades, always consider
  the UMF and Manuka MGO scores in tandem. Here at
  Manuka Direct, we can promise the following
• UMF score of 5 minimum MGO of 83
• UMF score of 10 minimum MGO of 263
• UMF score of 12 minimum MGO of 354
• UMF score of 15 minimum MGO of 514
• UMF score of 20 minimum MGO of 829

Naturally, the higher the Manuka honey grade, the
better. A higher MGO score means more benefits
from the product. All the New Zealand Manuka
honey sold by Manuka Direct is of the highest
quality, however. If you'll forgive us a moment
of personal pride, all of our products, whether
assigned a UMF Manuka honey score of 5 or 20, are
sure to provide effortless satisfaction. Source
