For well over a decade, we have pioneered the use of Pine Pollen, introducing RAW Pine Pollen™, Pine Pollen Tinctures, and Pine Pollen Extracts to a global audience.

Sourced with Integrity, Crafted with Care

Our Pine Pollen is sourced from the remote mountain forests of Chun’an County, China, where the Pinus massoniana pine tree thrives in its native environment. These untouched, government-protected forests provide ideal conditions for wild-harvesting, ensuring the purity and vitality of every batch.

Through direct partnerships with skilled local harvesters, we collect Pine Pollen during a precise three-day window each spring—when potency is at its peak. This hands-on approach ensures that Mountain Harvest Pine Pollen™ remains single-origin and site-verified, upholding the highest standards of transparency and integrity.

Mountain Harvest Pine Pollen™ exemplifies the harmony of time-honored herbal traditions and modern scientific advancements. By adhering to ethical sourcing practices and utilizing precise manufacturing methods in our USA-based facilities, we ensure that every product remains true to its natural origins while meeting the highest standards of quality.

Origins Rooted in Purpose

At RAW Forest Foods, our journey with Pine Pollen began out of necessity. More than a decade ago, we identified a gap: there were no domestic sources for this extraordinary ingredient. Driven by a commitment to quality and inspired by Pine Pollen’s ability to support holistic health and vitality, we set out to find the most authentic and sustainable source.

That search led us to the pristine, protected forests of Chun’an County, China—the natural habitat of the Pinus massoniana pine tree. Untouched by industrialization and safeguarded as a government-protected region, these forests provide the ideal conditions for Pine Pollen to flourish.

Each spring, during a precise three-day window, local harvesters carefully collect Pine Pollen at its peak potency. This intricate process, deeply rooted in respect for nature’s rhythms, preserves the pollen’s unmatched purity and vitality.

Our commitment to sourcing Pine Pollen in the Dàodì tradition from Chun’an County is more than a sourcing decision—it’s a reflection of our values. By prioritizing ethical and sustainable harvesting, we honor local communities, protect the integrity of the forest, and uphold the rich heritage of herbalism.

Crafting Pine Pollen with Integrity and Care

Mountain Harvest Pine Pollen™ is crafted with precision and care, guided by the foundational principles of Dàodì sourcing—a cornerstone of Classical Chinese Medicine. This time-honored approach ensures herbs are harvested from their authentic, native habitats, preserving their purity, potency, and natural vitality. By following these principles, we honor Pine Pollen’s rich heritage while maintaining the uncompromising quality our customers expect.

Once harvested, our Pine Pollen undergoes meticulous low-temperature drying and cleaning—essential steps that protect its delicate natural compounds, including enzymes, coenzymes, and vital nutrients. This careful process also enhances digestibility, resulting in an impressive 99% digestibility rate. The result is a nutrient-dense, highly bioavailable product that retains the full essence and vitality of its origins.

At RAW Forest Foods, we seamlessly meld together time-honored herbal traditions with modern scientific methods. By pairing classical formulations with cutting-edge research, we craft products that remain true to Pine Pollen’s authentic origins while meeting the needs of today’s wellness-focused customers. Our commitment to quality extends beyond the final product—it’s also about protecting the delicate ecosystems that make our work possible.
