Some people firmly believe that pollen is the most complete food in nature, it has been found to contain notable amounts of vitamins, minerals and protein.
Pollen contains the ENTIRE vitamin B complex which has been linked to the prevention of dementia.
In its raw state it can be an invaluable nutritional supplement and some USSR's Olympic medallists take pollen to increase appetite and improve overall body functioning.
It also builds up in the system to help ease hayfever discomfort caused by pollen particles in the air. A lack of pollen in the beehive would cause the queen to stop reproducing, workers to stop building honeycombs and without it bees would die, being vital to fertility in the hive leads many to believe that pollen can do the same for us !
Its sweet flavour can be enjoyed when sprinkled on cereal.
Recommended daily dose: Half a teaspoon.
