REVIEW: Wedderspoon Raw Premium Manuka Honey, KFactor 16

Types of Manuka Honey and why I chose Wedderspoon

The majority of Manuka Honeys have an MGO factor, the higher, the better.

I heard the wonders of Manuka Honey and I wanted to try it too. It just happened that the store had a Wedderspoon sale and I bought the one you can see in the photos. I was aware that Wedderspoon isn’t MGO certified and have their own scale, “Kfactor”, but it didn’t bother me. I like diversity in products.

Manuka Honey – Does it really work?

Manuka honey is known for its antibiotic-like effect, but without the downsides of real antibiotics. It is said that Manuka kills pathogens, but saves good bacteria, like Lactobacilli.

For me, it really worked. Although it didn’t do wonders and wasn’t as good as a real antibiotic, it was definitely better than any other natural “antibiotic” that I ever tried.

Next time I am thinking of trying another Manuka Honey, one that is MGO certified and I will definitely try a high MGO. I will come back and write about it.

How does Manuka honey taste?

At first I was a little bit taken by surprise by its taste. It may seem a bit strange at first, but then it is really delicious.

As time passes, it becomes more and more yummy. Now all I can say is that Manuka and Acacia honeys are my favorite!

Did I every try another Manuka honey?

Yes, I tried one which I bought from Lidl. It came, of course, from New Zealand but it didn’t taste nowhere near as good as Wedderspoon and it didn’t have any effect at all.

I also tried Manuka Health – MGO 100+. It tasted amazing, just like (or even better) Wedderspoon, but since the MGO was low (only 100), it didn’t have any antibiotic-like effect. I am planning in the future to buy a Manuka Health with a higher MGO (maybe 500+) and see what happenes.
