Greenbow Organic Bee Pollen - 100% USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO, Halal, Kosher Certified, Pure & Natural Bee Pollen - Superfood Packed with Proteins, Vitamins & Minerals - Gluten Free - 155g

It's wonderful, it tastes good. I add it to my teas to sweeten it since I don't consume sugar. I would buy it again. Highly recommended.

The very first review I see claims that because the product (nor company) show up in the USDA Integrity data base that means that the product is illegally labeled. *sigh*. A further glance at the USDA website Integrity Data base reads, "Did you search INTEGRITY for a certified organic business and didn’t see it listed? The next step is to ask the business claiming organic certification for the name of their USDA organic certifying agent. Then, contact the certifying agent (find them using USDA’s Organic Certifier Locator) to confirm certification and request a certificate. If the business is certified, the certificate must be available to the public from the certifier upon request. If the business appears to be falsely advertising as organic, please consider submitting a complaint with your evidence to USDA."The information on Greenbow webbsite states that, "We source our Organic and NGMO bee products from all over the world such as South America, Asia, India, Africa, Brazil, and Canada."SOooooo.. this tells me that since they don't use product based in USA (or use another USA based as mother company), but are selling in USA and want the USDA stamp, then they would have followed the steps outlined on USDA website (including utilizing an organic certifying agent- which GREENBOW has listed as certified by OCIA, which IS listed on USDA website as a legit certifier). Not wanting to leave anyone hanging, I contacted OCIA and asked for verification. The information has been forwarded to a certification director 08/2019. I may (or may not) hear from them over the next few days. While I am curious as to how this works, I am thinking that Greenbow would be taking a massive chance on lying about their product being certified USDA Organic AND listing their actual certifier. BUT, who knows.. and I just wanted to follow through as far as I could.. because someone decided that since they could not find the name in the USDA database then clearly it is a fraud. And that isn't necessarily the case.. as stated by the USDA website.I have no bias, nor interest in this company. But I do get a fire lit under my butt when something like that is being written with no FOLLOW THROUGH. My aim is to be helpful. SO I am here to say that I am attempting to follow this through. If I do get contact with the desired information, I will let ya'll know. Lets see what we learn. Stay tuned!EDIT!! I proceeded to contact OCIA, and the Director of Accreditation confirmed the legitimacy to me with this response, "OCIA does certify the bee pollen marketed under Greenbow. It is a private label, so another company actually produces the product but Greenbow is indicated on the label. Private label relationships are confidential, but I can confirm the product is certified by OCIA"Also, there is a comment from GreenbowUS in that first review comment section which states, "you will not be able to find Greenbow in the USDA Integrity database because Greenbow is a brand name and our products are made by the parent company Y.S.Health Corp, a Certified Organic Manufacturer" Then proceeds to share webpage.So, I think it is fine to go ahead and make your purchase if that bit was holding you back.Now as to the review on the product iteself..AS for this BEE POLLEN product? I like it. Its been years since I have purchased bee pollen, and recently I decided to buy some (I love superfoods and supplements of all sorts). I found this to be a reasonably priced, fresh container and have zero complaints thus far. I can't stand this stuff straight out of the jar, but I do like it sprinkled on my toast- especially if it has been slathered with peanut butter first. These are soft granules with very little mouth feel (not a crunchy item if you have never had bee pollen). They have a strong taste if consumed alone, yet have very little flavor once added into/onto something. Easy to use, and after I use up this jar, I will likely continue with it.

For me bee pollen has always worked to boost immunity and energy levels, and this GREENBOW product is a good quality one!The granules are more chewy than crunchy, quite soft, melting in the mouth. The taste is very natural, typical to bee pollen (and I've eaten before bee pollen directly from the bee hives / honey makers). It's a nice sweet but earthy flavor, with hints of honey (but not as delicious as honey); I personally enjoy the taste, but some other people might want it diluted with other flavors.Although I'm allergic to pollen (mostly sneezes), actually ingesting bee pollen helps me relieving seasonal allergies. It's not a miracle maker, but I do feel it boosts my overall immunity and slightly reduces anxiety and acne. And the extra vitamins and minerals from this superfood are good for my general wellbeing. I am very active and the enzymes and minerals make bee pollen an excellent replenisher after high endurance activities (long runs and hikes).I usually just eat the bee pollen on it's on, directly from the spoon. But you can add it to yogurts or salads, sprinkle it on oatmeal, smoothie bowls. It never gave me stomach issues, but I have found around the time I am taking this.I didn't refrigerate the bee pollen, but consumed it in less than two months and stored it in a dark cool pantry; I didn't feel it lost freshness, but I would still recommend refrigeration.The jar came wrapped in bubble wrap, very secure; I appreciate the care, although it's extra plastic; I'm happy that they offer this product (I purchased the 5.5oz version) in glass jar packaging.

This is a fresh and great product, you can tell when you try it, if you know about bee pollens, I just wish it was cheaper

Delicious!!!!!!!!

I dont know about the health benefits, the pollen is known to be good so I assume there are some health benefits that I just dont notice but the taste is for sure so good !! I am happy with my purchase :)

yes yes yes, i eat it to boost growth (iykyk) very good value, 1 year lasts abt 6 months unless you’re chugging the whole thing down by the spoonful. smells like nothing, tastes like biting into a flower but u can wash it down with water, it’s kinda powdery, personally don’t like the taste
