Most people have never heard of bee pollen, yet it is quickly becoming a widely known and utilised super food. So what is it good for?
Bee pollen is rich in Vitamins B,C and E, protein and amino acids, minerals like iron, zinc and magnesium, antioxidants and flavonoids and polyphenols.
All these components help our systemic processes tremendously, they reduce oxidative stress, protect our cells from damage linked to ageing and chronic disease, may help lower LDL and support cardiovascular health.
Furthermore it is anti-inflammatory and supports joint health, immune health and tissue healing, and can also boost immunity to seasonal allergies.
The main point we like to punctuate in regards to bee pollen is how much energy it gives us, we have construction workers, athletes and other highly demanded upon people in our team and community, all of these people now rely on bee pollen to get them through their day.
We recommend a few methods of consuming the bee pollen, firstly, you can just have a teaspoon/small palmful and throw it down the hatch. Secondly, you can have it on yoghurt, smoothies, porridge, cereal etc. where it can add a lovely malty flavour. Thirdly, you can dissolve it in water or juice and drink it.
Whichever way, the benefits will be felt tremendously when consumed regularly.
The best way to consume bee pollen, is actually in the form of ‘bee bread’, which is pollen mixed with honey and allowed to ferment for around 5 days, this makes the pollen more bioavailable and therefore our body can absorb all the ‘good stuff’ out of it easier. Bee bread is a ‘whole food’ which means it is able to support life on its own, this is what bees actually eat. We every so often make a batch of bee bread to spread awareness of how good it is.
Our bee pollen is sourced from the jarrah forrest in Western Australia, our team tried every bee pollen we could source, and this was the best one by far. Our bee pollen is delicious where others are unpalatable, and is a richer colour, crispier texture and overall a far more premium product, coming in both 200 and 500 gram sizes.
Overall, bee pollen is an incredible product that can be taken as a dietary supplement or as a daily energy booster, once you try it you won’t go back.
