[What is Pine bark?]

Pine bark, botanical name Pinus pinaster, is a maritime pine native to southwest France that also grows in countries along the western Mediterranean.  Pine bark contains a number of beneficial compounds that are extracted from the bark in a way that doesn’t destroy or damage the tree.

[How does it work?]

What gives pine bark extract its notoriety as a powerful ingredient and super antioxidant is that it’s loaded with oligomeric proanthocyanidin compounds, OPCs for short. The same ingredient can be found in grape seeds, the skin of peanuts and witch hazel bark. But what makes this miracle ingredient so amazing?

While OPCs found in this extract are mostly known for their antioxidant-producing benefits, these amazing compounds exude antibacterial, antiviral, anticarcinogenic, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. Pine bark extract can help reduce muscle soreness and may help improve conditions relating to poor circulation, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, diabetes, ADHD, female reproductive issues, skin, erectile dysfunction, eye disease and sports stamina.

Seems like it must be pretty amazing, but let’s look closer. The list goes on a bit further, as the OPCs in this extract may “inhibit lipid peroxidation, platelet aggregation, capillary permeability and fragility, and to affect enzyme systems,” which basically means it may be a natural treatment for many serious health conditions, such as stroke and heart disease.

Get the Recipe Card here:

https://www.honeysucklecatering.com/blog/a-pumpkin-smoothie-and-soup

- 1 small pumpkin (about 3 – 5 pounds)
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chile powder
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken stock

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cut pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds. Rub olive oil in the pumpkin and season with salt and pepper. Lay cut side of pumpkin face-up. Roast for about 45 minutes, until pumpkin is tender and can easily be pierced with a fork. Once it is done, let the pumpkin cool and then remove the flesh (about 3 cups). Discard the skin.

In the meantime, add 2 tbsps of butter and 1 tbsp of olive oil to a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and sauté for about 10 minutes, until onions are translucent.

Add the pumpkin flesh, sage, cumin, chile powder, and stock. Bring to a boil and then lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

Blend the soup using an immersion blender or transferring it to a regular blender (once the soup has cooled down significantly).
Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, dash of chile powder and pumpkin seeds. Add salt to taste and serve.
