What Does it Taste Like?

Bee bread has a unique flavour and likely tastes like nothing you've ever eaten before. It has a distinctive sour taste with a mild bitter-sweet aftertaste. The slight sourness brightens the flavour and tempers the bitterness. These characteristically bitter-sweet tones make savouring our bee bread an experience on its own. Sometimes the taste of bee bread is also compared to the distinct flavour of mango. If compared with bee pollen, the floral and herbal notes of bee bread are more intense and the texture is firmer and moister than the consistency of bee pollen. Generally, the taste of bee bread, like the taste of bee pollen, varies depending on floral sources, time of year, weather, region, etc.

What is Bee Bread?

Simply put, bee bread is fermented pollen that bees store in the comb to feed young bees of the colony in spring. It is a mixture of pollen, honey, and enzymes, stored in cells. The cells are sealed with wax, and the fermentation process happens in the presence of lactic acid bacteria and the warm temperatures in the hive during the summer months. This process is very similar to the fermentation of yoghurt or sauerkraut. Fermentation is what gives the bee bread its slightly sour taste and what makes the nutrients easier to digest and absorb. Bee bread, unlike synthetic vitamins, is produced naturally and is fully absorbed by the human body.

Nutritional Value 

Bee bread is considered to be the “superfood of superfoods”, containing nearly all nutrients that the human body needs. It is full of proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, essential amino acids, and enzymes. Natural bee bread contains important vitamins - A, B1, B2, B3, B6, C, E, D, K, PP, H, etc. It’s also a great source of minerals like iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, manganese, as well as many other micro and macro elements.

How to Store?

Store bee bread in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Always ensure the lid is secured tightly. If you want to store bee bread for a longer period of time, put it in a refrigerator or freezer.

How to Consume It?

Bee bread is a great addition to any diet, providing key nutrients that your body needs. Eat it as it comes - plain or mixed into honey or other foods. Our bee bread is a perfect topping for your smoothies, shakes, yogurt, cereal, toast, or breakfast snacks. You can add it to any beverage, such as tea or coffee, for a tasty boost of energy. Bee bread will add a chewy, delicious taste when sprinkled on your porridge, salad, or desserts like ice cream, chocolate, and other sweet treats.

How Much Should You Consume?

We recommend taking 1-2 tsp of bee bread daily (for the best results - 30 minutes before a meal on an empty stomach). For those who aren't familiar with bee bread, it's a good idea to start with a small amount. For example, you can start with 1/4 teaspoon and increase gradually to 2 teaspoons a day.

Please Note:

Bee bread is generally safe and healthy to use. However, some people may occasionally experience minor gastrointestinal irritation and a laxative effect due to the richness of the product. Bee pollen and honey may be allergenic products in some cases, but bee bread is less likely to cause allergic reactions because it is already fermented.

People who are allergic to honey and bee pollen may also be allergic to bee bread. In some cases, pregnant or lactating women and individuals with high blood pressure may also have allergic reactions to bee bread.
