Manuka Honey 800+ mgo from Honey Paihia - What do the numbers mean?
The numbers on a label of Honey Paihia manuka honey 800+ mgo are basically a measurement of purity of the nectar that our bees made the manuka honey 800+ from. The larger the number, which measures the special ingredient, methylglyoxal in milligrams per kilogram, the purer the manuka honey. There are a series of tests for manuka honey 800+ to pass before it can be called manuka honey when it is being exported from New Zealand. Generally when a manuka honey tests 250 and above for methylglyoxal in milligrams per kilogram of honey it is considered monofloral manuka honey, meaning it's from a single manuka honey nectar source. This scale can go from 25+ to 1200+ or in rare cases even more.
