Frequently Asked Questions about Manuka Honey

What is UMF™?

UMF™ (Unique Manuka Factor) is a globally recognized certification that verifies the quality, purity and potency of genuine Manuka honey. Evaluating three signature compounds: Leptosperin, DHA and Methylglyoxal (MGO), all naturally found only in authentic Manuka honey from New Zealand. The UMF™ rating on each bottle tells you how strong and beneficial the honey is.

Is MGO the same as UMF™?

MGO and UMF™ are not the same. MGO (Methylglyoxal) is one of the key compounds that gives Manuka honey its unique properties, and it’s a big part of what the UMF™ rating signifies. While MGO tells you the level of that specific compound, UMF™ covers a broader certification process that also includes Leptosperin and DHA, ensuring a more complete picture of the Manuka honey’s authenticity and quality.

Why is Manuka honey more expensive?

Manuka honey is considered rare and premium for a reason. It’s produced from the nectar of the Manuka flower, which blooms for only a few weeks a year in remote regions of New Zealand. Add in the limited harvest, careful testing and strict certification process, and you get a honey that’s as valuable as it is unique.

Can kids have Manuka honey?

Yes, but only for children older than one year. Like all raw honey, Manuka honey should not be given to babies one year old or younger. For older kids, it can be a natural way to add sweetness or support a wellness routine.

How is Nate’s Manuka Honey different from other honeys?

Nate’s Manuka Honey is 100% pure, raw & unfiltered, sourced exclusively New Zealand. Each batch is UMF™ certified and independently tested for authenticity, potency, purity and freshness. We never add anything or over-process, so you get the rich, creamy texture and natural goodness, as nature intended.

What does Manuka honey taste like?

Manuka honey has a rich, earthy flavor with slightly bitter and herbal notes. It’s thicker and more velvety than traditional honey, with a deep complexity that makes it perfect for both sweet and savory pairings.

How should I use Manuka honey?

Manuka honey is incredibly versatile. Enjoy it by the spoonful, stir it into tea, drizzle it on toast or yogurt or blend it into smoothies and dressings. It also works beautifully in natural wellness routines, like warm lemon water or homemade remedies. However you use it, you’re adding something real, raw and naturally powerful to your day.
