Bee pollen is a mixture of plant pollen pellet with nectar and honeybee secretions. Due to its active natural metabolites with extensive nutritional and therapeutic properties, it is recommended as a treasure trove of human nutrition. The nutritional components in bee pollen include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, and a small percentage of other components. Previous studies demonstrated that bee pollen exhibit antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic, and antiallergic properties. This comprehensive review focused on the nutritional properties and potentially active phytometabolites (polyphenolic acids and flavonoids) of bee pollen and its therapeutic health benefits. We also covered the food safety and guidelines for the consumption with future industrial challenges of bee pollen.

蜂花粉是植物花粉颗粒与花蜜和蜜蜂分泌物的混合物。由于其具有丰富的营养和治疗特性的活性天然代谢产物，因此被推荐作为人类营养的宝库。蜂花粉中的营养成分包括碳水化合物，蛋白质，脂质，维生素，矿物质，多酚和少量其他成分。以前的研究表明，蜂花粉具有抗氧化，抗菌，抗炎，抗癌和抗过敏的特性。这项全面的综述着重于蜂花粉的营养特性和潜在活性植物代谢物（多酚酸和类黄酮）及其对健康的益处。我们还讨论了蜂花粉未来的工业挑战所涉及的食品安全和消费指南。
