Manuka Honey UMF 5+ (MGO 80+): start your manuka journey
Manuka Home's UMF 5+ Manuka Honey is genuine New Zealand manuka honey with MGO 80+, in a 250g jar – the easiest grade to bring into a daily routine and the best first manuka. Made for breakfast and drinks; every jar has a UMF certificate, QR code and batch number.
Benefits
- Natural sweetener: a natural alternative to sugar at breakfast and in drinks, for a healthy lifestyle.
- Antibacterial properties: MGO (methylglyoxal) is the source of manuka honey's antibacterial properties, and it rises with the grade.
- Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory: manuka contains natural compounds such as leptosperin, flavonoids and phenolics, known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Throat and cough: soothes the throat and calms coughs – straight from the spoon or in warm water.
Who is it for?
For: first-time manuka users, families (over 12 months), and anyone after a natural everyday sweetener.
Not for: infants under 12 months or anyone allergic to honey or bee products. Looking for higher strength? Choose UMF 15+ or above.

FAQ
Which manuka grade should I start with?
Start with UMF 5+ – it is the entry grade – then move to UMF 10+ for more strength.
Is UMF 5+ genuine?
Yes. It is UMF-certified New Zealand manuka honey with a QR code and batch number you can check on the official UMF system.
250g or 1kg?
Same honey: 250g for personal use, 1kg for the household.
Does manuka taste different between UMF grades?
No – the taste is much the same. Grades differ in MGO and active compounds, not flavour.
What are the four UMF factors?
Every batch is tested for MGO (potency), leptosperin (authenticity – found only in manuka nectar), DHA (shelf life) and HMF (freshness).
Is New Zealand manuka tested before export?
Yes. All exported manuka must pass the Ministry for Primary Industries test: four chemical markers and a manuka DNA test.
