StakichBee Pollen (10 Pound (Pack of 1))

I was initially apprehensive about buying a whopping 10 lbs of pollen granules in a plastic bag. Would the bag leak pollen all over the place? Would the pollen have an off-putting flavor? Well, I'm delighted to report that the pollen came double-bagged in THICK plastic bags that don't leak, and the flavor is FRESH, SWEET, AND SLIGHTLY FLORAL I received AT LEAST 10 pounds of sheer, healthful, goodness. (When I weighed the pollen on my postal scale, it was closer to 11 pounds, reminiscent of the generous "baker's dozen" -- that is, one more than the stated amount.) Stakich Bee Pollen is hands down the best deal available on the market for purchasing pollen.

At first, I thought the 1st bag had very fine gravel in among the kernels. Upon later inspection of repeated instances of same, I investigated... to find that there was NO gravel. They were simply rock-hard-dried kernels. Flavor of that bag was a little on the tart side, too. However, if you've bought much bee pollen over the years, you well know how much the various qualities of such can vary from batch to batch, year to year, etc., etc. So, I thought to give Stakich another chance, and re-ordered, once I'd consumed the 1st bag. About every six weeks, I also order a 5 lb jar of Stakich (thick, golden yellow/sweet/delish) 'Raw Honey'. Great stuff. Been buying it for about two years, now. $35/jar/Amazon). I also recently bought a jar of Stakich 'Raw Honey w/Royal Jelly, Bee Pollen, and Propolis'; also $35 (for 2 1/2 lb jar). Also, 1st time. Dark, thick, delish honey, though I can see no pollen or propolis in it. Tastes great, however. :-) I have bought 5 lb jars of raw honey, before (other brands) with 1/2 to 1" thick propolis/wax on top of the honey. Ummm, good! Sure enough, only a rare rock-hard kernel in the 2nd bag of bee pollen. Mostly, this bag has pretty soft, though fine (over-handled/processed?), kernels. Definitely sweeter than the 1st bag, too. I often buy local bee pollen, when I happen across it. Unfortunately, its always way over-priced (though, due to lack of handling, usually consisting of larger, softer kernels). Even the local stuff can vary dramatically, however. Even from the same source(s). Considering all the above, when this bag runs out... I'll buy another one from Stakich. :-) Recommended; with above caveats.

This product is great, good value.

It gives me more energy.I put it in my smoothie daily.

The product was fresh and tastes wonderful. It arrived quickly. it's been a great experience.

The plastic container it comes in is sturdy and compact. The bee pollen is always fresh and smells great. I’ve been buying this product for years now and have never been disappointed. Just taking a spoon full last me all day with a lot of energy. I’ve been taking bee pollen for over 38 years and this is the best I’ve found.

VERY AROMATIC AND A LITTLE SWEET!

Has a weird after taste (sort of fishy). Or maybe this is how bee pollen tastes ??! I am trying it for the first time.

defiantly recommend this product

No doubt one of the more palatable superfoods to be found...The flavour will disappear behind whatever you have with this pollen (e.g. yogurt) ... but if you just eat a spoonful, it's mildly sweet with a tulip-y after taste. If it were physically possible to French kiss a bee, this is probably what it would taste like.A tad early for any health reports, though.

Good price and quality!

Smells fresh, dissolves easily in yogourt.

Excellent
