Bee Pollen (5 oz Jar)

Description

Bee Pollen is the stuff health gurus, nutritionalists and professional athletes are talking about.

Our 2016 bee pollen is harvested from hives in Western Washington. For those “in the know”, it’s tough to beat Bee Pollen as a nutritional supplement, an energy booster, as well as to combat allergies from seasonal local pollens.

There are lots of ways to enjoy it in your diet – you can mix pollen with a spoonful of honey for a tasty morning treat, sprinkle it on your cereal, put it in your smoothies, in your yogurt, or just eat it straight up. However you choose to enjoy it, your body will thank you.

Bee pollen has a somewhat chalky consistency, but the flavor is more herbal and nutty… kind of like eating an edible flower. It’s taste and color will change throughout the season as the flowers in bloom change.

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. If you’ve tried pollen from the store you may be surprised at how flavorful and fresh this pollen is by comparison.

Nutritional info::

The breakdown of nutrients in bee pollen can vary according to season, location and source but it is approximately 30 – 40% protein, followed by 55% carbohydrates, 3% of all minerals and vitamins and 2% fatty acids.

The pollen is an abundant source of proteins, amino acids, hormones, enzymes, minerals, vitamins and healthy fats. It also contains as well important amounts of natural antibiotics.

Most of the known vitamins in pollen exist in proportional balance which further heightens their worth.

The incredible amount of vitamins contained in the there are vitamins A, B- Complex(which includes B12), C and E, which together provide both energy and a powerful source of antioxidants.

All the essential amino acids (which our bodies cannot make) are to be found in bee pollen such as isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine. These essential amino acids are readily absorbed by the body and can be used immediately.

The protein found in bee pollen is denser than any other animal sources, and pound for pound contains more than double the amount of muscle building protein that is found in beef, milk eggs or cheese .

This is why it is of considerable interest to bodybuilders, vegetarians and people who wish to increase their levels of protein safely without leaving themselves vulnerable to saturated fats.

BeeKing’s works closely with independent Washington State beekeepers to produce pure, raw honey in several varieties across Washington State. We are a small family owned business and are committed to using no chemicals in our products…this includes the hives that we source our honey from. We harvest our honey seasonally – Spring, Summer, and Fall – to bring out the distinct floral flavors and aromas that are representative of Washington.
