Description
Natural Life Manuka Honey MGO 800, 250g
Natural Life Manuka Honey MGO 800 is a 100% pure, bio active manuka honey, a Product of Australia. MGO stands for methylglyoxal, the natural compound manuka honey is graded on, and MGO 800 sits at the high end of the scale, well above the everyday table-honey grades you'll find at most supermarkets. It's a single-ingredient honey with nothing added.
Manuka honey comes from bees foraging on the manuka plant (Leptospermum), and its MGO number reflects the concentration of methylglyoxal that naturally develops in the honey over time. Generally, the higher the MGO number, the more concentrated and potent the honey, and the stronger and more distinctive its flavour tends to be compared with everyday honey.

How to Use It
Because MGO 800 is a high grade, most people take it by the spoonful rather than cooking or baking with it, which can affect its natural properties at high heat. It also works stirred into a warm (not boiling) drink. As with any honey, it's not suitable for children under 12 months of age.
Who It Suits
At this price and potency, MGO 800 tends to suit people who already know they want a high grade, rather than someone just starting to try manuka honey for the first time.
- Anyone specifically wanting a high MGO manuka honey rather than a standard table honey
- People who already understand MGO grading and want a higher rating than everyday manuka honey
- Those looking for a pure, single-ingredient Australian manuka honey
Good to Know
Store the jar sealed, away from direct heat, and don't use it if the seal is broken. If MGO 800 is more than you need, Natural Life also makes a Manuka Honey MGO 550 at a lower grade and price point. Our Manuka Honey MGO guide explains what the different MGO ratings mean, and you'll find the rest of Natural Life's range in the Natural Life collection.
