UMF is a short term for Unique Manuka Factor. Only Manuka Honey has UMF value. Manuka Honey is gathered from manuka bushes, which are native plants found in New Zealand and certain parts of Australia. Extensive research has shown that Manuka Honey possesses antibacterial properties and the potency is indicated as UMF value. The highest UMF value is 20+ while the lowest UMF value is 5+. Manuka Honey’s therapeutic value becomes more valuable when the UMF value is 10+ and more.
