Lots of information about manuka honey, its benefits, and uses.
The importance of UMF®. Not all manuka honeys are UMF® rated. This is a quality mark that helps protect consumers from being misled into purchasing honey with little or no activity. Not all Manuka honeys are UMF® rated (and did you know that all honey is 'active', to some degree). Learn more on our UMF® explanation page here.
There is also quite a bit of information contained on the pages of the two most popular manuka honey products - the UMF 20+ , and the Manukacare 18+ for external use.
Useful links through to some of the university research for you. Plus articles that you may find informative.
For information on the research that has been done into Manuka Honey, the best thing to do is direct you to the Waikato University's Honey Research Unit website.
We do provide some summaries and extracts of various other studies that have been done:
Watch a news video from Australian TV on Comvita's Manuka Honey and Medihoney range, and doctors' use of medical manuka honey for wounds.

As professional honey tasters are hard to find, we've sought the opinion of a professional chocolate taster instead: (based on the Comvita UMF10+ honey)
