Röösli Kosmetika Organic flower pollen

Flower pollen is produced from flower dust: bees collect it from the anthers of plants and then enrich it with nectar and enzymes. This causes the flower dust to clump together into larger grains. What we refer to as pollen is, therefore, an accumulation of thousands of tiny dust particles that together form what is known as a "pollen ball." A pollen ball weighs between six to ten milligrams.

Bees not only add nectar and enzymes to the flower dust to make it manageable for them to carry back to the hive in small portions. A specific enzyme also ensures that the flower pollen becomes durable and is protected from germs and fermentation processes. The enzymes transform the flower dust into a food source that is also edible for humans and is considered a superfood due to its nutritional content.
