Organic Pollen

Flowering plants have pollen sacs in their flowers, in which pollen – also known as flower dust – is produced; this is exceptionally rich in protein and vitamins. For bees, pollen is the only food they consume apart from honey and water.

How is pollen harvested and why is it an increasingly sought-after superfood?

Bees collect pollen from the flowers of flowering plants, thereby ensuring the pollination and reproduction of all plant species. They carry it back to the hive on their bodies, deposit it in the honeycomb and store it as food for their larvae. Beekeepers can use pollen scrapers to gently remove around 10 per cent of the collected pollen from the hives without harming the bees. In terms of how it is obtained, we distinguish between two types of pollen: scraped pollen and excavated pollen.

Research has shown that 100 grams of pollen contains the same amount of amino acids as 500 grams of beef or 7 eggs – so a person’s daily requirements can be met with just 30 grams of pollen. Pollen also contains up to 40 per cent sugars, so it can be added to the diet as an alternative to sweeteners.

As it contains numerous beneficial active ingredients, it is also used in cosmetics, primarily as a rejuvenating agent. Pollen is the best vegan source of protein, as it contains 20 amino acids, all known vitamins and 27 minerals – it is a true superfood. Pollen actually also has all the properties of an antibiotic. Thanks to its ideal balance of nutrients, it is also an extremely important foodstuff that helps maintain and improve health and strengthens the immune system.
