Human research on pollen can be traced back to thousands of years ago. As far back as ancient Greek mythology, it was once said that "the gods in the sky don't eat human food, but only eat pollen". In ancient times, there was a Shennong who wrote a Classic of Shennong Herbs two thousand years ago, and listed Pollen Typhae (pollen of cattail) and Pollen Pine (pollen of pine) as top grades, saying that long-term eating can strengthen the body, invigorate qi and prolong life. In his masterpiece Compendium of Materia Medica, Li Shizhen, a great physician in the Ming Dynasty, said that Pollen Typhae had the effects of "moistening the heart and lungs, benefiting qi, expelling wind and stopping bleeding". There are also many records on the utilization of pollen abroad.
Pollen, the official scientific name of pollen, is the male organ of flowers, which is the sperm of plants in popular terms and the essence of plant life.
Pollen is small in size and mostly pale yellow or millet in color. There are two kinds of pollen: wind-borne pollen and insect-borne pollen. Wind-borne flower powder spreads by wind, and insect-borne flower powder is collected by bees. Edible pollen is all insect-borne flower powder, which is a pollen ball formed by pollen collected by bees plus their own glandular secretions, saliva and pollen. The diameter of pollen cells is about15 ~ 50 microns. Small pollen not only contains the genetic information of life, but also contains all the nutrients that breed a new life. Therefore, many experts in the world believe that pollen is the only completely nutritious health food found in the world so far!
According to the determination of scientists, the broken pollen contains 22 kinds of amino acids. Protein is the basic substance in life, and amino acids are the decomposition products of protein. According to the French National Research Center, the amino acid content of broken pollen is 4-6 times that of beef and eggs, and the total fat content of broken pollen is about 5%, which plays an extremely important role in the development of human brain and nervous system, among which phospholipids can prevent the accumulation of fat in the liver.
The total content of sugar in wall-broken pollen is 25 ~ 40%, and the types of sugar are complete. Contains monosaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. Among them, pollen polysaccharide, the most promising one, has strong immune ability and obvious anti-cancer effect.
Cell-broken pollen contains 100 kinds of enzymes and coenzymes. Enzymes are important substances that affect cell metabolism and play a catalytic role in the decomposition, synthesis, digestion and absorption of nutrients.
The wall-broken pollen also contains four kinds of vitamins A, B, C and E 14, and more than 30 kinds of trace elements such as potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, iodine, copper, zinc, manganese, cobalt, nickel, tantalum and barium, which play an important role in human beings, as well as α -carotene and β -carotene with anticancer effects.
