What is Grape Skin extract?

Grape skin extract are industrial derivatives from whole grape seeds that have a great concentration of vitamin E, flavonoids, linoleic acid, and OPCs. Typically, the commercial opportunity of extracting grape seed extract constituents has been for chemicals known as polyphenols, including oligomeric proanthocyanidins recognized as antioxidants.

Grape skin extract is rich in Oligomers Procyanidin Complexes (OPC) , which is a powerful antioxidant. In addition to the ultra rich potence of over 20 times higher than Vitamin C. Grape skin extract is also 50 times better than Vitamin E. Grape skin extract helps to strengthen the immune system, and also slowdown the aging process, which is of very high market value. Procyanidin B2, which is the most active compound to neutralize free radicals that cause aging, is available only in Grape Seed.

In Europe, OPC from grape skin extract proanthocyanidins has been adopted and used for several decades as a safe and effective compound. Grape skin extract has no record of any acute or chronic toxicity, no harmful reaction even under very high dosage. For these reasons, grape skin extract proanthocyanidins has become a new star in the food supplement market.

Red Velvet Cupcakes Recipe:
(recipe adapted from Brown Eyed Baker: https://bit.ly/UVFpPc)

Makes 1 dozen cupcakes
Ingredients:

- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2½ tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ tablespoons red food coloring
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1½ teaspoons distilled white vinegar

Blueberry Compote:
- 2 cups frozen blueberries
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions:

First preheat your oven to 350ºF. Then line your cupcake pan with cupcake liners.

In a mixer cream your butter and sugar until it’s nice and fluffy on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes. Then add in your egg and turn the mixer to high speed. Scrape down your bowl if you need to and keep mixing until everything is incorporated.

Now in a separate small bowl, mix together your cocoa powder, vanilla extract and red food coloring to make a thick paste. You’re going to add this to the batter and then mix it on medium speed until everything’s combined.

Now with the mixer on the lowest speed add in half of the buttermilk and then alternate between the flour and the buttermilk until everything’s combined. Again you’re going to need to scrape down the bowl to make sure everything’s mixed through to get that red color.

Finally add in the salt, baking soda and vinegar and then crank it up on medium-high speed and beat it for another minute until everything’s smooth and combined.

Now evenly fill the cupcake liners with the batter and bake it for about 15-18 minutes until it’s done. You can test this with a thin knife and if it comes out clean, it’s ready.

While your cupcakes are baking it’s time to make your blueberry compote. Combine half of the blueberries, water, sugar, and lemon juice into a small saucepan. Cook it over medium heat for about 10 minutes and then add in the rest of the blueberries and cook it for another 8-10 minutes until it’s thick and bubbly. Now let it cool completely.

Take your cupcakes out of the oven and let it cool completely for about 10-15 minutes. Once they’re completely cooled take your cupcake corer and poke a hole in the middle and remove the core. I bought this cupcake corer at Michael’s and it’s by Wilton, and I’ve included a link to it below.

Now you’re going to fill that empty core with the blueberry compote. Now, all you need is the frosting. I’m using my favorite cream cheese frosting to top it off. And to give people a little hint of the secret surprise inside, I’m going to decorate it with a blueberry on top!

How to Grow STEVIA Rebaudiana Bertoni Plant
How to Grow STEVIA Plant food
Growing Your Own Stevia
(Excerpted from Stevia Rebaudiana: Nature’s Sweet Secret, Vital Health Publishing)
If you enjoy gardening, Stevia can be a rewarding herb to grow. While it’s not feasible for most of us to grow sugarcane or sorghum in our backyard, several Stevia plants will fit nicely into a small garden. Recipes utilizing Green Stevia Powder are now available, and the whole leaves add to the flavor of herbal teas.
Stevia rebaudiana is a tender perennial, native to semi-humid subtropical regions of Paraguay and Brazil. Wild plants occur on acid soils that are constantly moist, but not inundated, often near the edge of marshes or streams where the soil is sandy (Brandle et al., 1998). In the garden, too, Stevia doesn’t like to dry out, but standing water will encourage rot and disease. Stevia can be a successful garden plant in most climates with the use of a few simple techniques. Raised beds or hills prevent “wet feet,” while an organic mulch and frequent watering ensure a constant supply of moisture.
In North America, Stevia survives winters only in the warmest areas such as southern California, Florida, and Mexico. Research in Japan indicates a critical winter soil temperature of 32 F to 35 F (Sumida, 1980). Stevia is a weak perennial, so plants grown as perennials should be replaced every few years. In colder areas, Stevia is planted after the last frost and treated as an annual. Longer summer days found at higher latitudes favor leaf yield and Stevioside content (Shock, 1982).
Soil Preparation
While tolerant of most soil types, Stevia prefers a sandy loam or loam. Any well-drained soil that produces a good crop of vegetables should work fine. Incorporating organic matter is the best way to improve heavy, high clay soils. A rich compost made with leaves, grass, hay, kitchen waste, manure, and other organic residues will improve soil structure and supply nutrients. Finished compost may be tilled, disked, or spaded into the soil before planting or used as a mulch later on. A “green manure” crop the previous year such as oats, rye, or legumes will also improve heavy soils. Stevia occurs naturally on soils of pH 4 to 5, but thrives with soil pH as high as 7.5. However, Stevia does not tolerate saline soils
Como crescer Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni Planta
 Qualquer solo bem drenado, que produz uma boa colheita de legumes deve funcionar bem. Incorporando a matéria orgânica é a melhor maneira de melhorar pesados, solos de alta de argila. Um composto rico feito com folhas, grama, feno, restos de cozinha, esterco e outros resíduos orgânicos vai melhorar estrutura e fornecimento de nutrientes do solo. Composto final pode ser lavrada, disked ou spaded no solo antes de plantar ou usado como uma cobertura mais tarde. A “adubo verde” cortar ao ano anterior, como aveia, centeio, ou leguminosas também irá melhorar solos pesados. Stevia ocorre naturalmente em solos de pH de 4 a 5, mas vive com o pH do solo tão alto quanto 7,5. No entanto, Stevia não tolera solos salinos . Fosfato de rocha, farinha de ossos, e greensand oferecer uma ampla gama de minerais. Para a máxima disponibilidade de nutrientes, trabalhar adubos orgânicos no solo, alguns meses antes do plantio, ou misturar com adubo.
Come coltivare Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni piante
 Qualsiasi terreno ben drenato che produce un buon raccolto di ortaggi dovrebbe funzionare bene. Incorporando la materia organica è il modo migliore per migliorare pesanti, terreni argillosi alti. Un ricco compost fatto con foglie, erba, fieno, scarti di cucina, letame, ed altri residui organici migliorerà la struttura del suolo e la fornitura di sostanze nutritive. Compost finito può essere coltivato, disked, o vangato nel terreno prima di piantare o utilizzata come pacciamatura in seguito. A “sovescio” ritagliare l’anno precedente, come l’avena, segale, o legumi migliorerà anche terreni pesanti. Stevia verifica naturalmente su suoli di pH da 4 a 5, ma cresce con terreno pH alto come 7.5. Tuttavia, Stevia non tollera suoli salini.
Mentre un buon compost di solito soddisfa i requisiti nutrizionali, i sintomi di test suolo o vegetali possono avvisare l’utente di carenze. Mark Langan di Mulberry Creek Herbfarm raccomanda basso azoto o fertilizzanti organici. Eccesso di azoto favorisce la crescita rango di sapore poveri. Farina di ossa, farina di sangue, farina di semi di cotone, guano, o letame essiccato fornire azoto che viene rilasciato lentamente. Fosfato o farina di ossa forniscono fosforo. Greensand è una buona fonte di potassio. Fosfato, farina di ossa, e sabbia verde offrono una vasta gamma di tracce di minerali. Per la massima disponibilità di nutrienti, lavorare fertilizzanti organici nel suolo un paio di mesi prima di piantare, o mescolare con compost
