Question

How should I store bee pollen and how long does it stay fresh?

Community Answer

If you store it in the fridge (this is the preferred way). If you keep it in the freezer it will last indefinitely. At room temperature it will last about 3-4 months.

Question

For the best nutritional benefit, should I take bee pollen with food, or is it just as effective to take it alone?

Community Answer

Each manufacturer has instructions on their product as far as how much to take and how to take it. As mentioned above, you can get it into your diet many different ways. When taking it like a vitamin, most people will put some under their tongue to dissolve just like a sublingual B12 vitamin. It should usually be taken apart from things high in iron, as iron and B vitamins should never be taken together. Taking it with magnesium or even in a fruit smoothie or acai bowl is a good idea if the taste bothers you.

Question

Can I take bee pollen with hot vegetable curry or hot dal?

It shouldn't be heated or cooked with, because it destroys the vitamins in it. Take it only if the food is warm in temperature.
