Show full details & how to prepare it
Bee pollen is the flower pollen bees pack into tiny golden granules, rich in protein, vitamins, and antioxidants. It's taken as a nourishing food for energy, and locally-sourced pollen is traditionally used to gently build tolerance to local allergens — but because it's pollen, allergic reactions are a real risk, so always start with just a few granules.
