[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.

I went to Jungle Cafe this past weekend and wanted to recreate this awesome squash salad but I had no squash and the other ingredients so I made my version! Here’s the recipe:

Two medium sweet potatoes, diced
One avocado, diced
One bag of mixed greens (4 cups)
A handful of pumpkin seeds
A drizzle of EVOO
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp onion powder
A dash of cinnamon

1. Rinse the diced sweet potatoes and drain.
2. Season the potatoes with the seasonings above.
3. Massage the potatoes all seasonings are mixed in well.
4. Roast the sweet potatoes for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.
5. Make sure they are a bit al dente (not too mushy)
6. In a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil, sauté the potatoes and brown.
7. Let me cool a bit then place the warm potatoes and avocados on top a bed of freshly rinsed greens.
8. Take a handful of pumpkin seeds and sprinkle on top.
9. Top with Goddess dressing and enjoy!
