Cooking Tips for Best Results
Use Lower UMF for Cooking
Save your high-UMF honey for direct consumption. MGO 100+ or UMF 5+ is perfect for cooking where heat is involved.
Add at the End
When possible, add Manuka honey at the end of cooking or drizzle over finished dishes to preserve its beneficial compounds.
Substitute Ratio
When replacing sugar with Manuka honey, use 3/4 cup honey for every 1 cup of sugar, and reduce liquid by 1/4 cup.
Storage Matters
Keep your Manuka honey at room temperature in a dark place. Never refrigerate - it will crystallize but remains safe to use.
