The Caribbean Bark ~ Mauby

      Alicja

 I am sitting at my computer trying to find my writing voice mean while feeling like I have so much to say but not wanting to reveal everything at once. Some of you may know that I am in the making of starting my own raw food company however there is a bit more that I want to share with you.

Growing up in the Caribbean has influenced me in many ways especially my food choices. The Caribbean is riddled with great food. We even have festivals dedicated to the foods of that particular crop. I grew up extremely modestly ok I am lying that’s just a fancy way of saying that we didn't have much. However there was so much love that I never felt it and we always made the best of what we had. Making the best of what we had also translated into our food choices, there was always something growing on the trees from breadfruit to sugar apple and even plum. We grew up finding creative ways to prepare these foods and Caribbean people are very creative. Seriously speaking we know food we might not all work as chefs in five star restaurants but when it comes down to taste we got it in the bag. Check out this favorite recipe of many Caribbean people mauby, yes we use tree bark to create healthy fun drinks.

Mauby is the bark from the Colubrina genus tree it is a small tree native to the Caribbean. Mauby is sweet and bitter but who knew that bitter could be so sweet. Mauby is well documented as a favorite Caribbean drink however its nutritional properties haven't been well documented until now. Mauby has many medicinal purposes it lowers cholesterol, Mauby helps with arthritis, reduces blood pressure and lowers diabetics blood sugar, over all it is extremely cooling and revitalizing.

 

Chai Redbush Cereal

 

Creating a dish that has complex flavors and that is simple can sometimes be very hard, however when you know the spices that you like and which ones that go together you can most often come out with a nice result.

Chai Redbush is a combination of Rooibos leaf, Cardamom seed, Cinnamon bark, Ginger Root, and clove. These combinations of spices scream winter comfort.

I decided to make a simple winter cereal because I am the kind of person that loves cereal. The crunch and the flavor that the milk takes on because of the cereal I just love it all. What I don't love are the calories, high fructose corn syrup and other artificial flavors.

This cereal has it all I will surly me making this in my commercial kitchen for my customers. This one is special.
 

Brazilian nuts, chai seeds, and raisins

Dr Gary Fights back with Endophytes

 

 

Dr Gary Strobel amazed me and gave me hope for the future of the pharmaceutical industry.

 

Ok so let me introduce this man who inspired me with his story so much that I had to blog about him. Gary Strobel is a Dr. and a plant pathologist whose job has taken him to every major rain forest and every continent except Antarctica. He has made such a name for himself that his hat yes this red one is in the Smithsonian. In 1987 Stroble made some key discoveries about pine trees that could have helped keep them alive and thriving however the federal government warned him about tapping those trees and threaten to put him in jail and strip him of his job. Dr. Strobel was in every major magazine and newspaper in America because of his decision to disobey the federal government.

 

Many years later Strobel is still practicing has plant discoveries; he studies plants particularly and their endophytes, micro organisms that live between the cells of plants. These endophytes have powerful organisms that can fight common aliments that kill millions of people each year like Malaria and cancer. The amazing thing about Gary is that he hasn’t just made these discoveries he has put these discoveries into action and has even sold some of these plant discoveries to major pharmaceutical companies; whose job it is to turn these disease fighting endophytes into drugs for humans. Gary has found an endophyte for malaria that he has sold to a pharmaceutical company; imagine that very soon there will be a drug made of plants that would help millions each year.

 

Gary’s work really gives hope to the drug companies of the future, if they are using plants to combat illnesses more and more people who are diagnosed with a chronic illness that they have tried to cure with nutrition and exercise alone but couldn’t could instead take a drug made of plants.
