Bee Pollen

Bee pollen is a natural substance collected by bees from the pollen of flowers, mixed with nectar and enzymes. It is packed with nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, proteins, and antioxidants, making it a popular supplement for enhancing overall health. It is Normally used a supplement and not to enhance flavoring. So with a small word of caution be sure that you try a small portion on its own before you bake/cook with it, any allergy to honey is an allergy to bee pollen and Tread extremely carefully if allergic to bees, when is doubt ask your doctor.

Bee pollen offers a unique flavor profile that closely resembles honey, yet it lacks the characteristic sweetness that honey is known for, very floral, with a subtle nuttiness to it and incredibly earthy undertone. Any honey flavor dessert can (and in my option should) be enhanced with bee pollen.

A few things to note: Bee pollen comes in small pod like granules. If baking or cooking with them the granules will burn if they reach over 200 Fahrenheit or 93 Celsius. This will result in hard black specs lurking in your food. So before mixing into a batter or sautéing them in a sauce break out the old mortar-n-pestle and get to grinding them. Alternatively you can blend them or crush them with a spoon... it just sounds less cool. Once in a powder form the pollen is microscopic enough to hide in your food more like a seasoning, and is much more temperature resistant.
