Our bee pollen stands out with its natural blend of sweet, floral, and slightly bitter notes. Sourced from the meadows and woodlands of Latvia, our bee pollen comes from bees thriving in pristine environments, ensuring unparalleled purity and quality in every grain.
Bee pollen is one of the world's oldest superfoods, even used by ancient Egyptians for its substantial health benefits. Its complex composition, featuring proteins, amino acids, lipids, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, and polyphenols, makes it a significant source of nutritional and bioactive compounds essential for health. Earthbreath's bee pollen not only enhances dishes with its natural sweetness when eaten on its own or mixed with honey but also enriches smoothies and yoghurts with a nutritional boost, blending taste and health seamlessly.
Bee pollen is collected using a pollen trap at the hive entrance, which gently removes a small portion of the pollen from the bees' legs as they enter the hive. The bees are not harmed; beekeepers do not collect all of the pollen. The traps are used only for limited periods, allowing the colony to retain sufficient pollen for its own nutritional needs. Responsible beekeeping practices ensure that pollen harvesting does not compromise the health or development of the bee colony. The bees continue to gather pollen naturally, and the colony remains the priority throughout the process.
