What today's sample collected
The run sampled on 2026-10-13 at 01:30 UTC across ten public boards (The Pioneer Woman, HGTV, National Geographic, PetaPixel, Design Milk, BuzzFeed Tasty, Handimania, Hunker and others). It read 493 Pins, filtered one out under the blocklist, and ranked the survivors by repin count, allowing at most one entry per author so a single account cannot sweep the top.
The Pin at number one
“Power Salad — roasted cauliflower, beets, red quinoa. Oh my.” by Ree Drummond / The Pioneer Woman, with 4,052 repins. It is a food Pin — a category that dominates Pinterest's most-saved content month after month, and for a structural reason.
Why food Pins win the repin race
A repin is a promise to yourself. You are not endorsing the image; you are putting it where you will find it when you need it. Food Pins fit that intent perfectly: the dish is legible at thumbnail size, the ingredients are named in the copy, and the action required afterwards is obvious. The caption here does the work of a headline — it names the dish, lists three specific components, and ends on a reaction. The beet purple against the quinoa does the rest at scroll speed.
The rest of today's top five
| # | Pin | Author | Repins |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Power Salad — roasted cauliflower, beets, red quinoa | Ree Drummond / The Pioneer Woman | 4,052 |
| 2 | Watch as formerly outcast hyenas come home | National Geographic | 353 |
| 3 | Bike Storage | Handimania | 84 |
| 4 | While sailing through Antarctica, a photographer came across… | PetaPixel | 6 |
| 5 | Few meals scream comfort quite like a heaping bowl… | BuzzFeed Tasty | 5 |
The gap between first and second is the story. Food Pins are saved to be used; wildlife and destination Pins are saved to be enjoyed. Both are legitimate, but only one produces the repeated, purposeful save that a repin represents.

What this page is not
- Repin counts are point-in-time samples from 2026-10-13, not live figures.
- The list comes from ten public boards, not Pinterest-wide trending.
- Board pool and method are recorded with every run so the sample can be judged on its own terms.
