This morning during my cooking class, we sprinkled bee pollen on our porridge!
Bee pollen is a super high-energy whole food that is said to supply us with nearly every single nutrient the human body needs to survive. It is loaded with enzymes which help us to break down and digest food. Read more about its benefits here.
It has an interesting floral flavour and texture.
Bee pollen is a superfood I like to use as it's collected in Australia - rather than coming all the way from Peru like lots of other superfoods.
If you are in Yamba, Kitchen to Table stock it, Or try this one.
How to use it...
- Do as we did today and sprinkle it over porridge
- Add it to smoothies
- Sprinkle on yoghurt
- Sprinkle over muesli
- We made white chocolate coconut truffles with bee pollen during my raw chocolate class
- It looks great sprinkled over cakes. It would go well over this coconut loaf recipe.
Due to its connection with honey, we think to use it in sweet foods. However I think it could go well in a warm rice or quinoa salad, or sprinkled over soups perhaps?
