Tag: Mgo potency

According to scientific analysis, the key compound Methylglyoxal (MGO) within Manuka honey can increase for a period after harvest. This maturation process is a key factor in determining if and how does Manuka honey get better with age, but it's a misconception that this improvement lasts indefinitely, as potency can eventually decrease.

Archaeologists have found perfectly preserved, thousands-of-years-old honey in ancient Egyptian tombs, a testament to its remarkable longevity. Just like other natural honeys, Manuka honey does not need to be refrigerated and should be stored in a cool, dark pantry to maintain its optimal consistency and beneficial properties.
