Bee Pollen 250g

Raw bee pollen is a naturally colourful collection of tiny wildflower-pollen granules with a mildly sweet, floral flavour and a pleasantly chewy texture.

What Is Bee Pollen?

As bees forage, pollen from wildflowers gathers on their legs. Back at the hive, they form it into the small, golden granules known as bee pollen.

Our beekeeper carefully collects only surplus pollen, ensuring enough remains for the colony. The result is a pure, single-ingredient bee product with natural variation in colour, size and flavour from one granule to the next.

This raw bee pollen comes from Váraljai’s Honey Farm on the southern Great Hungarian Plain, where forests, meadows and wildflower-rich countryside provide a diverse forage for the bees.

How to Use Bee Pollen

Bee pollen is easiest to enjoy as a finishing ingredient, adding gentle floral sweetness, colour and a light crunch.

• Sprinkle over porridge, yoghurt, overnight oats or granola with fresh fruit.
• Blend into smoothies, or scatter over the top just before serving for texture.
• Add a pinch to a latte, cappuccino, iced coffee or hot chocolate.
• Use as a topping for pancakes, waffles, chia pudding or vanilla ice cream.
• Stir into homemade energy balls, muesli or a simple nut-and-fruit breakfast bowl.

Serving Tip

Use bee pollen cold or at room temperature to preserve its distinctive texture and delicate floral character. Scatter it over food just before serving rather than cooking it for long periods.

Where Does It Come From?

Our bee pollen comes from Váraljai’s Honey Farm, a family-run apiary near Ásotthalom on the southern Great Hungarian Plain. Beekeeper László Váraljai keeps his own hives and harvests honey and bee products using traditional, considered methods.

Monika visits the farm annually and remains in regular contact with László. She selected this pollen for its clean flavour and clear provenance from hive to pack.

Sprinkle it over yoghurt, porridge, fruit, smoothies, pancakes or desserts. It is best added just before serving, rather than cooked for a long time.

Is bee pollen the same as honey?
