Spanish bee pollen powder: a natural superfood to nourish your body
At Delimet we believe in products that connect with the essential: the natural, the organic and the authentic. Bee pollen powder is one of those jewels of nature that, besides being a gift from the bees, is a powerful functional food with multiple benefits.
Did you know that pollen is considered by many experts as one of the most complete foods that exist in nature? It contains an ideal combination of proteins, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants and essential amino acids.
What is bee pollen?
Pollen is collected by bees from flowers and is made up of small particles that they compact and transport to the hive. In its natural form, they are small multicolored grains, but it can also be found in powder form, such as the one we offer at Delimet, which is easier to integrate in different preparations.
This powdered format is ideal for those who are looking to incorporate pollen in a practical way in their daily life, as it dissolves easily and can be mixed in drinks, meals or even used in more elaborate recipes.
Benefits of bee pollen
Regular consumption of pollen can significantly improve your overall well-being. It is a natural source of energy, ideal for active people or those with a demanding lifestyle, as it helps fight fatigue and improves physical and mental vitality. It also strengthens the immune system, contributes to the balance of the digestive system and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that protect cells from oxidative stress.
Due to its content of B vitamins, it is also an excellent ally to improve mood and promote the proper functioning of the nervous system.
How to consume bee pollen?
One of the great advantages of bee pollen powder is its versatility. It has a slightly sweet taste with a floral background, making it easy to incorporate into everyday recipes without altering the profile of the dish too much.
You can consume a teaspoon a day (about 5 g) directly or dilute it in liquids. You can also sprinkle it on salads, yoghurts, smoothies or even in baked goods. Ideally, it should not be subjected to high temperatures to preserve its nutritional properties, so if you include it in hot recipes, do so just before serving.
