Bee bread, also known as "ambrosia" or "the bees' bread," is naturally fermented pollen stored by bees inside the honeycomb cells. It consists of about 75% pollen, mixed with nectar, honey, and bee saliva. The saliva and enzymes added by the bees lead to the formation of probiotic bacteria and yeasts that break down the proteins in pollen into a more digestible form. This process significantly enhances the bioavailability of proteins, as many of them are pre-digested into their basic amino acids, making them easier for the body to absorb.
A single cell of bee bread may contain different colours of pollen, gathered from a variety of flowering plants.
Bee bread has a high nutritional value, containing a balanced mix of proteins, essential amino acids, vitamins, omega fatty acids, simple sugars, minerals, and enzymes.
It is a natural source of essential vitamins, including A, B-complex, C, E, and K, as well as an excellent source of minerals and enzymes, including magnesium, calcium, iron, selenium, sodium, zinc, potassium, and phosphorus. It also contains lactic acid and essential amino acids, which allow it to be stored safely at room temperature. It is often said that all the chemical elements found in the human body can also be found in pollen, and thus in bee bread as well.
In ancient times, bee bread was known as "ambrosia" - the food of the gods - due to its extraordinary nutritional value, or as "perga." Some people incorporate pollen and bee bread into their diets as high-quality, non-animal sources of protein.
Both bee bread and raw pollen are nutritionally rich superfoods, with a complex and well-balanced content of amino acids and bioactive compounds, superior even to meat in terms of nutritional value and digestibility.
When using bee bread to support or improve health, it is important to start with small doses, gradually increasing them daily or weekly, depending on the severity of the health issues being addressed. This allows the body to gradually adapt to this new food.
Both bee bread and raw pollen do not trigger allergic reactions for most people. On the contrary, gradual exposure to bee pollen and bee bread may help the body better tolerate airborne allergens.
