It measures pollen count and authenticity — whether the honey is genuinely manuka from the region claimed — rather than methylglyoxal concentration. A higher KFactor means more manuka pollen, not more MGO. Do not compare KFactor against UMF as though they were one scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe honey is raw and unpasteurised. Commercial honey is heated and filtered to stay clear on a shelf; skipping that keeps enzymes, pollen and texture intact but means it will crystallise. Crystallisation is a sign it has not been over-processed, not a fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 325g jar sits apart from the 250g, 500g and 1kg containers, and the shipping weight shows why: the jar accounts for a far larger share of the total. Same honey, heavier packaging — worth knowing if you are choosing on price per gram.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eManuka comes from bees foraging \u003cem\u003eLeptospermum scoparium\u003c\/em\u003e, which flowers for a few weeks a year in a limited part of New Zealand.

KFactor is Wedderspoon's own rating system, based on pollen count and authenticity testing rather than the MGO or UMF scales other brands use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Wedderspoon Raw Manuka Honey KFactor 16 325g Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis suits anyone who prefers a jar to a squeeze container, and anyone who wants a mid-size between the 250g and the 500g.
