Bee Pollen-The perfect food?
One single bee can pollinate 100,000 flowers in a single day.
It would be safe to say they are "busy as a bee".
Bee pollen is made by honeybees and is the food for young bees.
It is considered to be one of natures most completely nourishing foods, as it contains
all the nutrients required by humans to survive.
Bee gathered pollen's are rich in proteins (40%), free amino acids, B complex vitamins and folic acid.
It is richer in protein than any animal source and contains more amino acids than beef, eggs or cheese
of equal weight. Those amino acids are ready to be used by the body immediately.
The most effective way to consume bee pollen is take 1 tsp with a piece of fruit (the fruit fibers
reinforce the activity of the pollen) every morning. Or you can mix it in your smoothies or green juice. Then work your way up to 2-3 tsp per day for maximum effect.
Some great reasons to add fresh pollen to your diet.
