My wife, Amanda, brought home a jar of raw bee pollen after reading about its
spectacular nutritional benefits, and it’s been a staple in our fridge ever since. The
soft, spongy yellow granules have a sweet and surprisingly complex, earthy flavor. I
like it in oatmeal, smoothies, yogurt, and salads, and sprinkled over nut butter on
toast. It’s best as a finishing touch, since all the good stuff in bee pollen is destroyed
by heat. Here, it plays well with the fruity tang of tangerines and gives a pop of
texture to the salad.
A jar of bee pollen is a little pot of gold. It contains up to 35 percent protein and is high in B vitamins, so it’s great
for a natural boost of energy. A regular dose of fresh, local pollen gives some people relief from seasonal allergies
because it helps build up resistance to the pollen floating around in the air. Ideally, you can buy local bee pollen
from a vendor at your farmers’ market, but you can also find it in most health food stores.
