Someone gave me a jar of pollen, maybe a fist-sized jar.
Not industrialized, potentially came from an experimental farm or someone's field project (lots of biologists around my house lately). No information whatsoever about it or how to use.
I've read about using pollen for allergies (don't have them, thankfully) and maybe adding to tooth powder (interesting).
The general advice online seems to be 'sprinkle it on your food'. I'm already sprinkling on flaxseed and chia seed and pumpkin seed and oat bran and turmeric, I don't think I can handle more sprinkles...
Any advice on how to use it?

Mix it in with the other sprinkles is easy.
Put it in whatever you are drinking works too.
A half teaspoon just eaten is a dry mess, but can be washed down.
It can be put into capsules if you want.

Basically, any way you can get it in you works.
