Our Pacific Northwest Bee Pollen comes from a diverse mix of wildflowers, harvested throughout multiple seasons. Our pollen is always sustainably harvested, with the needs of the bees kept in mind. The honeybees gather pollen from flowers to feed to their developing brood, who need large amounts of protein for their development, which means that Bee Pollen is very nutrient-dense - it is packed with protein, amino acids, minerals, and vitamins. It is an excellent energy source and may also assist with seasonal respiratory discomfort.Suggested Use:Try bee pollen on its own, in your smoothie, or sprinkled on your favorite food. We love bee pollen served as a sprinkle on salads or with yogurt and granola.We recommend storing bee pollen in the refrigerator to keep it freshest.Serving Size: 3 oz. - 17 teaspoon-sized servingsFlavor Profile:It has a sweet and floral taste. It comes in many shades of color, due to the many colors of pollen in the flowers it is gathered from.Other Info:Plants have developed an amazing mutually beneficial relationship with bees. Flowers attract bees using their colors, aromas, and even sounds. The bees and other pollinators receive the reward of nectar and pollen, and the plants benefit with more seed development as the pollinators travel from flower to flower. It's a miracle of nature, and bee pollen is part of that magic!We source ingredients fresh, directly from Pacific Northwest growers and producers.
