Perga, also known as Bee bread, is a real superfood, high in protein and antioxidants and pro-biotics. Perga is lacto-fermented pollen that the bees collect and store. Eat one or two spoon-fulls per day for supporting a healthy lifestyle and sound sleep.

68 g pure Finnish perga bee bread.


Perga is pollen from flowers that the bees store in their hives. To preserve the pollen, they add some enzymes to it that starts a lactofermentation process that makes the pollen both healthier and longer lasting. Pollen is high in healthy proteins. The fermentation of bee bread is similar to kimchi or sauerkraut, which means it is full of healthy bacteria that support gut health. The taste of perga is slightly sweet-sour, with a clear taste of delicious pollen. Unsurprisingly, perga goes very well with honey!

Unlike fresh pollen, perga is more digestible and the nutrients are more easily absorbed by the body. This is because the lactofermentation breaks up the hard protective shell around the pollen grains that make it difficult for the digestive system to absorb nutrients form fresh pollen. Therefore the fermentation has a double benefit in perga: better nutritional uptake combined with probiotic lactic acid bacteria that support gut health.

Perga is traditionally eaten in eastern Europe, where there is an old beekeeping culture and the health benefits of bee all products are well known and understood.
