Some stores offer tablets and capsules, which may be convenient, but are very expensive and may contain foreign pollen, which probably has lost much of its vitality. Bee pollen is primarily used as a food supplement. Fresh pollen varies in taste depending upon the flowers from which it was gathered. It may be sweet or it may be bitter. Its taste will even vary depending on the individual's taste preferences.
Many people eat pollen straight.
Some mix it with honey. Some eat it as a topping on cereal or as a garnish with their favorite dressing on salads. Experimentation is the key to finding the best way for you. To keep pollen fresh, we recommend that you keep the bulk of the pollen in the freezer and put a smaller quantity into a container in the refrigerator. It can be kept in a closed container outside the refrigerator or freezer, but will not maintain its vitality as long.
