100% Natural Pure Organic Bee Pollen

Description: This is raw bee pollen, harvested from beehives. What do you do with bee pollen, you ask? You eat it! Pollen is used as a nutritional supplement, an energy booster, as well as to combat allergies from seasonal local pollens. We like to mix our pollen with a spoonful of honey and take a teaspoon every morning. Others like to sprinkle it on their cereal, put it in smoothies, in their yogurt, or just eat it plain. It has a chalky consistency, but the flavor is more herbal… kind of like eating an edible flower. The taste and colors of pollen change throughout the season as the flowers in bloom change. For this reason each jar will vary slightly in color, flavor, and texture. It is important to eat small doses at first (even as small as one grain), as those with tree or flower pollen allergies may also have an allergic reaction to eating bee pollen. Start with a few grains and build up to a larger amount as your body gets used to the bee pollen. How do we harvest it? We have something called a “Pollen Trap” that goes on the bottom of our beehives, and as the bees fly in, the pollen is knocked off their legs and lands on a screen below. The pollen is harvested daily, cleaned of any plant debris, freezed for 24 hours, then placed in a room with fans and de-humidifiers to remove some of the moisture and to prevent it from molding. When you receive the pollen it is fine to store it in your cupboard, in the refrigerator, or in your freezer. We suggest keeping it wherever you will remember to eat a spoonful a day. Here are some of the nutritional components of bee pollen: Protein 21.2% Carbohydrates 48.5% Fiber 14.2% Fatty Acids 9.9% Ash 3.5% Bee Pollen is abundant with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and more. It is the only food that contains all 22 essential known nutritional elements. Pollen is actually the male seed of flowers, required to fertilize the plant. As bees travel from flower to flower, they pick up pollen on their legs in “pollen sacs” and take it back to the hive to feed their baby bees. It is a great source of protein for the hive. We always make sure not to take more than the bees can spare for their own health and vigor. Note: Bee pollen can cause severe allergic reactions in some people. Do not consume it if you are allergic to bees. The information on this website has been provided for educational purposes only.
