    PURITI Manuka Honey UMF® 5+ - PURITI

    PURITI Pure Manuka Honey UMF 5+ 

    Genuine Manuka Honey is delicious, nutritious and chock-full of natural healing properties and naturalhealth benefits

    When Manuka is produced it is given a Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) rating. This rating is indicative of the purity and potency of the honey. A Manuka Honey with a higher UMF rating will contain a higher concentration of the unique properties (such as Methylglyoxal) found in Manuka that makes it such a delicious and beneficial product.

    Methylglyoxal (MGO) is a naturally occurring compound in Manuka and is believed to give us the Manuka Honey benefits that make it such a valuable product. Having a higher UMF rating indicates a higher concentration of MGO, amongst other active ingredients.

    Having a higher UMF grade doesn’t necessarily mean a better honey, though - that is completely dependent on what you look for in your Manuka Honey and your taste buds.

    Why Choose PURITI Manuka Honey?

    Our5+ UMF Manuka Honey is popular thanks to its slightly sweeter taste and lower price. Don’t be fooled by the lower UMF certification rating, though. We hold our products to ahigher standard than technically required. While the minimum MGO requirement to obtain a UMF 5+ rating is 83 mg/kg, we make sure ours have 100+ mg/kg MGO before giving it the UMF 5+ grade.    

    Along with having higher testing standards, we also test for Glyphosate-residue contamination. Glyphosate is a herbicide that is used on farms, gardens, streets, and parks and there is growing concern that it is carcinogenic and can cause health-related issues. At PURITI, we have a zero-tolerance policy for the presence of Glyphosate residue - you can rest assured knowing that no matter which one of our products you purchase, it will be Glyphosate residue-free.
