Wedderspoon Manuka Honey Kfactor 22+
What it is
This is a jar of raw Manuka honey from Wedderspoon, with a Kfactor rating of 22+. Kfactor is a system that measures the non-peroxide antibacterial activity of Manuka honey. This honey is sourced from New Zealand and is unpasteurized, meaning it retains its natural enzymes and beneficial compounds. It has a thick, creamy texture and a distinct, earthy flavor profile.
How people cook with it
Manuka honey can be enjoyed in many ways, adding a unique sweetness and depth to both sweet and savory dishes.
- Spread on toast
- Sweeten tea
- Drizzle over yogurt
- In salad dressings
This raw Manuka honey can be used as a natural sweetener in beverages like tea or coffee, or spread directly onto toast, scones, or muffins. It can also be incorporated into marinades for meats or used to create flavorful salad dressings. For a simple treat, drizzle it over yogurt, oatmeal, or fruit. Its unique flavor makes it a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory culinary applications. Remember that heating honey can diminish some of its natural properties, so consider adding it to dishes after they have cooled slightly.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular honey, Manuka honey is known for its higher levels of certain compounds, particularly methylglyoxal (MGO), which contributes to its unique antibacterial properties. The Kfactor rating specifically indicates its level of non-peroxide activity, setting it apart from other honeys. Its flavor is also more robust and less floral than many common varieties.

How to keep the rest
To maintain its quality, store this honey in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the lid tightly sealed when not in use. It does not require refrigeration. Over time, raw honey may crystallize, which is a natural process and does not affect its quality. You can gently warm it to return it to a liquid state if desired.
