Pollen is the male element in the fertilization of flowers.
There are two types of pollen, anemophilous and entomophilous. The former are carried by the wind and are abundant. These do not contain the necessary nutrients and are responsible for many spring allergies.
Entomophilous pollen is transferred by bees, which ferment it with nectar in order to make it pliable and give it the form of a pellet in which it is stored in the hive.
(A teaspoon of pollen – the recommended starting dosage – contains 1,200 pellets, i.e., about 2,500,000 pollen grains, each of which has the ability to fertilize a flower and thus produce a fruit, or a grain of wheat, etc. We are not exaggerating when we say that pollen holds within it the generative power of nature.)
Note also that pollen is the raw material for the production of royal jelly.
Its composition, like that of honey and royal jelly, is particularly complex.
Analyses show that it contains a huge amount of nitrogenous materials in the form of proteins, inorganic salts, and vitamins. It also contains all the essential amino acids that our body is unable to synthesize, and in the case of pollen, it obtains them from a natural source, which is preferable to synthetic formulas.
