Description
Organic Bee Pollen is a nutritious addition to whole food recipes.
Organic bee pollen is simply grains of nutrient rich pollen which bees collect from organic flowers. Bee keepers only collect a small amount of pollen, leaving the bees enough to thrive and produce honey.
It is special product rich in nutrients, antioxidants and enzymes. Bee pollen contains all the essential amino acids which makes it a complete protein. It can be sprinkled onto porridge, yoghurt or added to smoothies.
