Because It Was There... Pino Pollen.

It is tree pollen flavour here. Cars plough xanthous together with nosotros all sneeze together with rub our eyes. Molly is allergic to this equally good equally corn pollen, together with then she had a pretty fossil oil fourth dimension of it hither for a few months every year. Eventually she constitute that bee pollen actually helped. BUT since it is hither directly together with I've read random bits nearly it hither together with there. I decided to drive gathering some together with then that if I cause upwards one's heed to drive something later, I've got the the pulverization to run with.

That's how I constitute out I'm allergic to it too. Not terribly, simply it isn't something I desire to run amongst on a daily basis. Here's how I did it...

Looking upwards at the White Pine tree, in that place were pollen covered manly mortal cones everywhere.I'd read that all 1 has to produce is seat it into a pocketbook together with shake. No. All over me! Hair, clothes, hands... everywhere.

So instead, I cutting nearly a cupful of the bunches together with gently dropped them into the bag.

To maintain the pollen contained, the cones went into a meshwork strainer over a bowl, together with the whole matter went into a gallon pocketbook amongst the overstep (side?) left opened upwards together with then it could dry out together with cash inward one's chips on to mature.

This is nearly one-half of what came from the cones. I emptied it the other day.

Dumped out onto a clear cutting board.

Using a 15X lens together with then y'all tin give the axe meet the private grains of pollen.

Another close-up. I used a slim knife blade to scrape upwards the pollen together with slide it into a bottle.

All done together with happy to instruct this optic gum out of the kitchen. About 1/2 ounce of pollen from a loving cup of cones. That's to a greater extent than than I expected. Pretty amazing, really.

So directly I accept it laid upwards when I've had fourth dimension together with inclination to fool around amongst it. Right directly in that place are together with then many herb medicines showing upwards together with needing attention. By the fourth dimension autumn rolls around, I'll accept a dozen things similar this to do.
