| Product Description |

| Proper quality control, processing and cold storage are all critical and expensive steps when manufacturing a raw, unprocessed superfood like bee pollen. Processing techniques have been developed to increase shelf life by preventing spoilage, but bee pollen is basically fresh produce, and like any living food, if you kill the nutrients with processing techniques, it ceases to be living! Processed pollen has been known to be baked to remove moisture, irradiated to prevent spoilage, and has spent minimal, if any, time in cold storage.

| Heat Is The Enemy!
Did you know that enzymes begin to be denatured at 118 degrees F? Enzymes are an important component of bee pollen, and they are only one of the many classes of nutrients in bee pollen that exhibit bioactivity. Other classes of bioactive phytonutrients found in bee pollen include polyphenols, phytosterols, carotenoids and more. HIGH DESERT Bee Pollen has been tested to have the highest polyphenol content of all of the whole foods yet tested .Excessive exposure to heat can degrade the bioactivity of certain nutrients. HIGH DESERT Bee Pollen is the only bee pollen on the market that is stored cold from collection, through processing, until shipment to you. When you buy HIGH DESERT Bee Pollen, look at the granules. You'll find them semi-moist and fresh. Other brands of bee pollen granules are hard and dry - this is the compromise: these companies will not go to the expense of cold storing their product, so they sacrifice nutritional integrity for increased shelf life. You benefit from neither! Would you rather eat a fresh apple or a dehydrated apple? Go for the freshness!
