Raw organic bee pollen.

Antonio has recently sent us some of his organic bee pollen. This is more expensive than some bee pollen but the quality is very good – both in terms of flavour and preservation of natural qualities.

There’s free delivery on this pollen until the end of April.

Antonio dries the pollen naturally at air temperature. Much of the pollen available online is heat dried.  This is said to damage the pollen.

Antonio's organic bee pollen comes in 250 gram jars

What exactly is bee pollen?

Bee pollen is an alkaline food considered by some nutritionists to be one of the most complete foods found in nature.

Where does bee pollen come from? Honeybees collect millions of pollen grains which are microscopic in size and then bind them together with nectar.

Bee Pollen contains 55 per cent carbohydrate, 35 per cent protein, 2 per cent fatty acids and 3 per cent minerals and vitamins.

Bee Pollen contains up to 5,000 enzymes, and the phytonutrients (such as co-enzymes, bioflavonoids, phytosterols, and carotenoids) also number in the thousands.

Bee pollen contains all the essential amino acids, which make it a complete protein and is extraordinarily rich in most of the B vitamins, including folic acid (folate).

Many people regard bee pollen as having extensive health benefits It is widely used a health enhancer and energy builder by top athletes the world over.

It is widely used as a longevity tonic and has helped many achieve peak performance.

The Chinese have used pollen for thousands of years; they considered it valuable in treating a wide range of conditions and used it as an energy and nutritive tonic.

One of the most intriguing facts about bee pollen is that, despite the many thousands of chemical analyses it cannot be synthesized in a laboratory. This means there are still some elements present in bee pollen that science cannot identify.

Some naturopaths say that these unidentifiable elements may be the reason why bee pollen works remarkably well against so many diverse ameliorative conditions of ill health.

Researchers at the Institute of Apiculture, Taranov, Russia claim bee pollen to be the richest source of vitamins found in Nature.

This bee pollen is air dried at low temperatures which ensures the pollen you are getting is fresh, has had minimal exposure to heat or cold all of which can degrade the pollens nutritional qualities.

Proponents of bee pollen say that it can help with the following:

  • Greater levels of Energy
  • Increased Stamina and endurance
  • Improved Sexual health and performance
  • Acts as an Immune system booster
  • May help with Prostate diseases
  • As a longevity food and tonic
  • May help with skin problems like acne
  • Improved digestion

Many people who are recuperating use bee pollen.

How do you eat bee pollen?

You can sprinkle it on your  cereal, eat it with yoghurt or add it to your smoothie … or alternatively, as we do, you might just want to eat it straight from the spoon.

What does it taste like?

It has a sweet and flowery taste, many people love it, others say it is an acquired taste.

Antonio’s bee pollen is certified organic, meaning it is from a pure environment without artificial pesticides, fertilisers or antibiotics.

    Hi
    Just had to share my utter delight with everyone – I have recently received Antonio’s air-dried and fresh(frozen)organic bee pollen and I can’t adequately describe how beautiful both these pollens are. They are incomparable to a couple of other pollens I have recently tried. Nothing comes close.
    It has a such a unique and scrumptious flavour, a wonderfully heady aroma, and the sensuous & subtle textures are divine.
    Thanks so much for bringing Antontio’s bees into my life!
    I am just about to sample both Antonino’s and Ramon’s honey.
    I fully expect to be bowled over!!
    Kind regards
    Katie Wood

    Hi. Im just about to order a jar of bee pollen from your site. I just need to know what the best way to consume it is because I have heard that it should be left in water to allow the shells to break for easy sssimilation. If i eat it straight from the spoon wouldnt that do the same job?

    I hope to hear from you. Thanks!!!!

  3. Tim Said:

    Hi, I have heard that it can be soaked over night and this helps assimilation but I haven’t seen any specific evidence to back this up. This principles does seem to apply to other hard husked foods. From a common sense viewpoint this sounds sensible and I don’t think it will do any harm to the pollen. The most benefit will be received from eating fresh pollen, which we also sell.
