Your Grace and anyone out there who may answer these questions:
Does pollen have the consistency of flour or is it more gritty?
What does pollen taste like? Could it be used as a sweetner when sugar can
not be used?
Could pollen from other edible plants be used?

I'm intrigued that the cattail pollen could be edible.
