Guest guest Posted November 2, 2000 Report Share Posted November 2, 2000 A friend of mine called me today, absolutely raving about the ( I think she said POTENTIATED) bee pollen she has been taking for a couple of weeks. What is different about that kind of bee pollen ? Anyone know about this product? Thanks, KAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Evening everyone. Been reading various books and websites and a few of them mention bee pollen. I'm not really sure what all the hype is about it yet so can anyone shed any light on this topic? Is it beneficial? What does it taste like? More importantly should I be trying to get it from my own country (most places tend to be selling Spanish bee pollen)? Thanks in advance Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 We get it from a local bee keeper. I think one of the reasons to get honey and pollen from a local keeper is so that it is less likely to be pasteurized. Also, if local helps with allergies specific to the area in which you live.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I take about a teaspoon of local bee pollen a day. It helps my nose not constantly drip. I have a friend who takes it and says she hasn't been sick since (and she was always catching colds). I just throw it in my mouth and wash it down with a big gulp of liquid. It comes in granules that turn to powder if pressed. I know some have said it tastes sweet, but not to me; but it's definitely tolerable. I've heard some people freeze it and sprinkle it on top of foods and some blend it with foods or beverages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 There are two types of bee pollen, fresh that requires refrigeration and the other that does not. We have a store in Rockledge, FL that sells both versions, Mrs. Mango's and Company. http://mrsmangoandcompany.com/index.html > > I take about a teaspoon of local bee pollen a day.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Keep in mind that any honey products you take should be RAW, ORGANIC, AND LOCAL-raw, so they contain all the enzymes needed. Organic for obvious reasons, and LOCAL (within 100 miles of where you live) so they contain pollens you are already familiar with an exposed to. Many people who have issues with honey have them because they contain " foreign " pollens-pollens from trees and flours outside of your own area. I do fine with raw honey that my father in law supps here in my town, but have bad reactions to honey from elsewhere, since I have pollen allergies anyway. > > > > I take about a teaspoon of local bee pollen a day.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 It was either on the news or in some of the health news letters I get that there's a lot of fake honey out there in the stores. They water it down with high fructose sugar. A lot of it comes from China. They said to look at the honey and it should have pollen in it. If there's no pollen it could be fake.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Around where I live, local honey is often sold at roadside produce stands, gas stations, and food co ops. Seeking out a good co op is a great idea for SO many reasons. I assumed we didn't have such a thing in my tiny mountain town, but after investigating, found that we have SEVERAL great co ops-which have since changed my life, since I have been able to get organic seeds, produce, and even purchased my own cows, lol! I would think Syracuse is full of good co ops-check with your local health food stores. Co ops don't advertise, and there is usually a small membership fee (25 a year or so)-well worth it to connect with the scores of people that have local goodies!Sent from my iPadOn Feb 22, 2012, at 8:07 AM, Carol <cdj53@...> wrote: How do I find a crediable local facility that sells honey.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Quinoa-YUM! My favorite breakfast of quinoa is just to cook it overnight on low in my slow cooker (you can cook it stovetop too, but I like the ease of it being hot and ready in the morning)-serve it hot, with a dollop of good yogurt (homemade is easy) and a drizzle of agave or honey or maple syrup-slurrrrrrrrppp! I prefer red quinoa to the yellow, since it isn't quite as earthy tasting. You can also make amazing gluten free muffins by grinding the quinoa into flour in your Vitamix-you can add a little regular flour if you like, or combine buckwheat, rice, or other gluten free flours with it-make a muffin batter in the Vitamix, throw in some sunflower, pumpkin, chia and/or flax seeds, fresh berries, chopped apple, etc. and bake some muffins or a batter bread-YUM! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I buy local bee pollen at the Whole Foods store in my area. It's in the refrigerated section right next to the brand I purchased online. A website I like dedicated to quinoa is www.cookingquinoa.net.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 what proportion of water to quinoa do you use? I have had problems ending up with it either too wet/mushy, or too dry. Thanks I have used my rice cooker but would like to try a crockpot, although I think I would want to get a much smaller than my family sized crockpot, since I am likely the only one who would eat it.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I use just enough water (or rice or nutmilk or juice-any liquid is fine) to cover it by about a half inch-sorry, but I don't measure. I have a tiny two quart slow cooker (lead free) that I use for cooking grains overnight. I also have a wolfgang puck 2 quart mini rice cooker that does a wonderful job, but I am baking off from using it due to the " non stick " coating in it-shame, since it is a spiffy little cooker.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I've got a great idea (joking of course). All the bee "farmers" can put tiny GPS trackers on each bee so they can download each night as the bees return to the hive and track where all their wonderful load of pollen came from.
