Question 1

Is it soluble in liquids? Or in oil?

Accepted Answer

This is actually a very good question. Bee pollen is soluble in liquids. Experts say (among others, Dr. Cherbuliez, the Vice President of the American Apitherapy Society) that mixing bee pollen with honey or lemon juice leads to better absorption of nutrients. This is thanks to breaking down the bee pollen's outer shell. This outer shell protects the pollen from rough environment - sunlight, rain, wind, etc.. Our recommendation is to soak the bee pollen in freshly squeezed lemon juice for an hour or in honey for a day before consumption.

It's important to mention that when using the lemon juice, either prepare only one dosage (if prepared night before, keep it in the fridge) so the pollen doesn't go off due to high moisture content of the lemon juice.

We hope it helps (:

Question 2

it is undried? fresh?

Accepted Answer

Our bee pollen is air dried at low temperature to preserve the nutrients. It's necessary to dry the pollen as the high content of humidity in the pollen granules would cause the pollen to go off and it would get mouldy over time.
The only other way would be to keep the pollen frozen, but that wouldn't be practical at least in terms of logistics.
So drying the pollen is the most practical way to preserve it in terms of nutrients and sustainability. Like our grandmas used to dry herbs for tea :)

Question 3

Does it help reduce hay fever symptoms?

Accepted Answer

I think it does reduce the symptoms cause I have not been too bad this year but as precaution I still take my cetrizine every other day .

Question 4

If you find the taste unbearable, like i do, how do people eat it? Any tips?

Accepted Answer

We're happy to see all the ideas here! :] ..with honey, porridge, smoothie, fruit bowl, etc..

In our answer here to the question "Is it soluble in liquids? Or in oil?", we mentioned letting the pollen dissolve in honey or lemon juice. We know the taste of pollen with lemon juice isn't particularly a solution to this issue (duh) but it helps with better absorption of nutrients. Which is why we have the pollen, right? :)
