Manuka honey grading
If you are looking to purchase Genuine manuka honey, the different ways of rating it can be very confusing! UMF, MGO, NPA, or pollen count. Then there is Mono-floral and multi-floral manuka!
These all show the antibacterial level of manuka honey.
The concentration of hydrogen peroxide is what gives manuka its effectiveness along with the fact that honey is hydroscopic (absorbs moisture).
Multi-floral manuka simply means that the bees will have collected other honey at the same time as the active manuka whereas mono- floral will be pure manuka.
Obviously the higher rating the more expensive your honey will be. If you require a good honey for a sore throat etc, a 5+ or 80 MGO is all you need. At the other end of the scale if you are treating a wound I would use a 20+ and apply it topically.
