Bee pollen is a holistic remedy used throughout the world. Unfortunately, the vast number of ways that pollen can be used is often overlooked.
Did you know that bee pollen contains almost all of the nutrients required by the human body to thrive?
Bee pollen is wonderful for natural allergy relief and is responsible for the many health benefits of raw honey. It’s rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins, lipids and fatty acids, enzymes, carotenoids and bioflavonoids — making it an antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral agent that strengthens the capillaries, reduces inflammation, stimulates the immune system and lowers cholesterol levels naturally. In fact, bee pollen contains more protein than any animal source and more amino acids than equal weight of eggs or beef … and those are just some of the top bee pollen benefits.
When buying the pollen be sure to get it from a reputable company or local beekeeper that you trust. Make sure that the pollen is free from pesticides and that the bee colonies are not treated with chemicals. You can find pollen in most health food stores and farmers’ markets, especially since it’s becoming more popular.
High-quality, fresh pollen consists of soft, fragrant, pliable granules that are neither pasteurized nor heated. These tiny yellow, orange, or brown granules can be chewed direct. They also come in the capsule and tablet forms. The taste of pollen varies depending on the flower and nectar source it comes from. Bee pollen is very versatile; you can choose to mix the granules with any food you like. The most common way to use bee pollen is when it’s ground and mixed with foods. However, eating it raw is best, never cook it or add it to boiling water or food that requires heating. Heat destroys the live enzymes in the pollen and lowers its nutritional value. Some parents suggest blending it together with fruits to form a delicious smoothie for their children who would require all the essential amino acids, minerals, vitamins to grow strong and healthy, while others prefer to sprinkle it on yogurt, cottage cheese, pancake, toasted waffle, or granola.
