Frequently asked questions

What is so special about UMF18+ Rare New Zealand Manuka honey?

Before accepting Rare New Zealand honey into our shop front, our team at Rare Organics went through a checklist of "must haves" to ensure the quality and integrity of the honey and the founders behind the honey.

We found out that this Manuka is sustainably harvested, then carefully stored and processed with the least possible interference to ensure the honey retains its unique natural properties. This was a huge selling point for us. Our ethos here at Rare Organics is that in all that we do, we must do with love. Especially towards our environment and the animals and insects we share it with. Bees play an integral part in our ecosystem. So much so that if our sweet yellow and black bottom friends go instinct, it would have a devastating impact on Earth. So, in light of the practices Rare New Zealand carries out in maintaining the hives and harvesting the honey, we moved over to our next query. Have they had this honey tested?

Rare New Zealand is quick to provide assurances to global customers by independently testing and certifying the purity, potency, authenticity, and quality of Rare New Zealand manuka honey. Every jar carries the trusted certifications of the New Zealand FernMark and the UMFHA which utilizes modern technology to ensure proof of origin and authenticity.

The FernMark officially recognized and endorsed by the New Zealand Government, is a mark of trust that communicates a product's country of origin and connection to New Zealand. Carrying the FernMark on a product, together with a unique Licence number, makes it easy for consumers to verify its authenticity, which helps promote and protect New Zealand-branded products on a global scale. Rare New Zealand carries the UMF™ association assurance and the New Zealand FernMark.

Seeing their true love and care for the bees and beekeeping, our Team at Rare Organics decided to team up with Rare New Zealand to get this honey out to our fellow brothers and sisters in humanity. It wouldn't be fair for us to keep this delicious, creamy Manuka to ourselves. The benefits are just too great.

How is Manuka honey different from honey?

The wonders of genuine manuka honey are derived from the collection of natural compounds, found in the pristine untouched landscapes of New Zealand. We call this the Unique Manuka Factor - UMF. You will not find the UMF in any manuka honey that is not authentic New Zealand Manuka Honey MGO.

Is it OK to take Manuka honey every day?

People with diabetes should be cautious about their intake and work with their doctor when consuming foods, especially foods with high sugar natural or otherwise. Eating small amounts of Manuka honey daily will typically have no negative health impacts. Dosage: When unwell: 1 – 2 teaspoons are recommended up to three times a day while symptoms persist. For daily use: 1 – 2 teaspoons daily. Who should not use Manuka honey? Manuka honey is not suitable for infants, people with blood-sugar control disorders, and those with a honey allergy. As it’s high in natural sugars, people who need to monitor their blood sugar levels should consume it in moderation or should consult a healthcare professional first.

What people are saying

Raw manuka honey are quite popular for their beneficial medicinal effects. It's no wonder our manuka honey gets the seal of approval from all who have bought it. With about 300+ types of honey available, manuka honey is the superior honey for this purpose. Due to the increasing studies demonstrating the increased medicinal benefits, it's no wonder the peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Microbiology declared that manuka honey is no longer a "folklore remedy".

The wonders of genuine manuka honey are derived from the collection of natural compounds, found in the pristine untouched landscapes of New Zealand. We call this the Unique Manuka Factor - UMF. You will not find the UMF in any manuka honey that is not authentic New Zealand Manuka Honey MGO. The creamy, delicious, antioxidant-rich honey has increased in popularity across the globe and it's seriously no wonder considering the jam-packed benefits it has. However, as manuka gains traction, so does the number of fake manuka.
Genuine manuka honey costs a pretty penny too, the last thing you want is to waste your hard-earned money on manuka honey which fails to prove its authenticity, purity, and potency.
