Brief Introduction

Salicin is a naturally occurring compound found in the bark of several species of trees, primarily North American in origin, that are from the willow, poplar, and aspen families. White willow, from whose Latin name, Salix alba, the term salicin is derived, is the most well known source of this compound, but it is found in a number of other trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants as well being synthesized commercially. It is a member of the glucoside family of chemicals and is used as an analgesic and antipyretic. Salicin is used as a precursor for the synthesis of salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid, commonly known as aspirin.

A colorless, crystalline solid in its pure form, salicin has the chemical formula C13H18O7. Part of its chemical structure is equivalent to the sugar glucose, meaning it is classified as a glucoside. It is soluble, but not strongly so, in water and alcolhol. Salicin has a bitter taste and is a natural analgesic and antipyretic, or fever reducer. In large quantities, it can be toxic, and overdoses may lead to liver and kidney damage. In its raw form, it may be mildly irritating to skin, respiratory organs, and eyes.

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.
