FAQ
Q: 1. What is the difference between Origins Raw Honey and Origins Manuka Honey Blend?
A: All products within the Origins honey range are 100% natural, raw and unfiltered from the remote regions of Australia so that the honey retains its natural taste, texture, enzymes and pollen. Origins Manuka Honey is derived from the manuka nectar-producing plants which contain special compounds such as MGO (methylglyoxal), naturally present in manuka flowers. MGO is the organic compound responsible for manuka honey's strong antibacterial properties and is ideal for daily consumption. It has great taste and aroma and therefore provides the health benefits of honey and manuka together.
Q: 2. What is the recommended way of preparing honey?
A: Honey should be consumed ideally at either room temperature or warm water at a maximum of 45 degrees Celsius, a similar temperature as the beehive house. Honey mixed in boiling water can reduce some health benefits of the honey although there is limited evidence to support this claim.
Q: 3. Can young children consume honey?
A: Honey is recommended for children older than 12 months old after they have developed a strong immunity.
Q: 4. How does Origins practice sustainable & ethical beekeeping methods?
A: The collection of our honey involves ethical beekeeping practices which is reflected in our HACCP and SQF certifications. We do not harm the ecosystem of the bees and we allow natural pollination to happen as it is crucial to sustain our natural environment.
Q: 5. Can I consume honey with a metal spoon?
A: You may consume honey with any spoon of your choice. However, there are suggestions that the honey has an acidic pH and may react with a metallic surface.
Q: 6. Is honey suitable for cooking?
A: Honey adds additional moisture to a recipe and is great for baked goods such as breads, cakes, muffins and pies although it may not be advisable to use honey in recipes that require high cooking temperatures.
Q: 7. Is honey suitable for vegetarians?
A: Honey is made from nectar collected from flowers and does not have any animal products. Hence it can be consumed by those who are vegetarian or vegan.
Q: 9. What is the difference between UMF or MGO?
A: UMF and MGO are two individual grading systems. UMF incorporates the measurement of MG (MGO) levels, but also includes additional testing of authenticity markers of the manuka honey such as dihydroxyacetone and leptosperin. UMF is an indicator of the quality and purity of manuka honey. MGO stands for methylglyoxal, the naturally occurring compound that makes manuka honey so unique. An MGO rating is a standardised measure of methylglyoxal content and is an indicator of the quality of manuka honey.
