What’s So Special About Manuka Honey 30?
If you’re not sure how Manuka honey differs from other types of honey, let us explain. After all, there are so many different varieties of honey, such as Clover and Wildflower honey to more unusual varieties such as Alfalfa, Buckwheat and Eucalyptus. As you can probably guess, it’s all down to where the bees collect their nectar.
To be called Manuka honey in New Zealand, the nectar must be collected from Leptospermum Scoparium also known as Manuka, part of the larger plant family Leptospermum. In Australia, we have over 80 varieties of Leptospermum and our active Manuka honey can come from any of those varieties. The advantage of this is that some of these varieties have much higher concentrations of Methylglyoxal (MGO), the active ingredient that gives Manuka honey its medicinal properties.
Manuka honey is the only honey that is scientifically proven to have medicinal qualities. The active ingredient, Methylglyoxal was found by Dr Peter Molan in 1981 during his research into the properties of different kinds of honey from around the world. To ensure that our MGO 30 Manuka honey has the correct concentration, every batch is harvested from our own bees on the East Coast of Australia and is university tested before being certified and awarded its strength rating. So, you can rest assured, that when you buy through us, you’re always getting genuine Manuka honey of the highest quality.
What Does MGO 30 in Manuka Honey Mean?
Let’s explain a little more about MGO. It’s simply a rating to show the concentration of Methylglyoxal in the honey. The higher the MGO number, the higher the concentration of Methylglyoxal. Honey with lower MGO numbers has the same qualities as those with higher concentrations but is just not as potent.
So, Manuka MGO 30 means that it has 30mg of Methylglyoxal per kilogram. This is actually the lowest MGO concentration we sell here at Nature’s Gold and is recommended for adding flavour to food and drinks. It’s especially delicious when used as a natural sweetener in smoothies and on cereals. We also offer honey in other MGO concentrations ranging all the way to MGO 829. Plus, we have super-strength honey available with MGOs of 1000+.
