For regular honey, yes I totally agree. But for those looking for Manuka honey for it's enhanced antibacterial properties, this seems to be a great price. You eat this honey straight. Don't add it to tea or other foods. That would be a waste.cerealkiller wrote: ↑I don't usually comment like such but when it comes to products like honey, I would encourage people to check out local honey farms.

It appears to be a lower quality than this deal in terms of MGO and UMF.
It's the Comvita (registered manuka brand) 5+ UMF and it comes in a 1kg jar for 57 bucks. They had it on sale a couple of weeks ago 10$ off. This is what they sell at Costco https://www.amazon.ca/Manuka-Honey-New- ... 05&sr=8-28
MGO is just another measure for the active ingredients, UMF is the most used scale by the certified brands. Basically inches vs cm, in layman's terms.
5+ UMF has no benefits beyond regular honey that cost $10dilligafeh wrote: ↑ It's the Comvita (registered manuka brand) 5+ UMF and it comes in a 1kg jar for 57 bucks. They had it on sale a couple of weeks ago 10$ off.
This one is 15+ UMF so a higher content and a great deal if it is what they claim it is. I have not tried the brand before.
I don't see how that is. You can buy 250g of honey at 15+ and I buy 1kg of honey at 5+ for the same price or cheaper. If I consume X3 or x4 times the amount of the 5+ vs consuming 1x of the 15+, why wouldn't I get the same benefits ?
Appreciate your comments about local honey. I sell local at a farmers market in Ottawa and never make any health claims about my honey though some of my customers feel that it helps with allergies. I always tell people that you should buy it because it tastes good and anything else is a benefit. Having said that, kudos to the NZ Honey Marketing Board for an awesome selling jobcerealkiller wrote: ↑ I don't usually comment like such but when it comes to products like honey, I would encourage people to check out local honey farms.
