Waitemata Manuka honey is a monofloral honey produced by bees that gather nectar from the Manuka tree (Leptospermum Scoparium), a native plant of New Zealand. This honey is renowned for its distinctive flavor and many health benefits due to its high levels of methylglyoxal (MGO), which is a compound known for its antibacterial properties.

Genuine Manuka honey is graded using a Unique 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐤𝐚 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 (𝐔𝐌𝐅™) 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, which reflects its medicinal qualities. The higher the UMF rating, (5+ to 20+) the more potent the honey is believed to be. Manuka honey has other health benefits including wound healing properties, immune system, and digestive health support.

Some producers of Manuka honey are not members of the UMFHA and use a different scale that indicates the strength of methylglyoxal in their products. The most common alternative system is the MGO® scale, which indicates the measure of methylglyoxal in Manuka honey processed by members of its organization. A table of equivalents is below. This table has been compiled by the independent laboratory that assesses the UMF content for members of UMFHA.:
➡️ UMF 5+ approximately = MGO 83
➡️ UMF 10+ approximately = MGO 263
➡️ UMF 15+ approximately = MGO 514
➡️ UMF 20+ approximately = MGO 829
