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

The pollen is wild flower pollen – the bees collect it from a variety of flowers – and is available in 225 gram jars at a cost of £11.

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.
