FOOD PRIMER I ne*°ridio/e, Y' e>ststreet &ees^f BY BETTY Honey is not a complete food but it contains vitamins and small por­ tions of practically every element used by the human body. As far as food value is concerned, it sup­ plies almost 1500 calories to the pound — thus ranking very high in the iist of foods. Europe uses this food extensively in cooking and in honeywine (Mead). We use it largely as a tasty spread or as a flavoring for frostjngs. The attractive glass jars in which honey is marketed make it possible for the housewife to see exactly what she is buying. Often the modern producer puts part of the comb in the strained honey, plainly visible through the glass walls of the jar. Others have made their bottles in the shape of a hive, and all honey containers — Once so troublesome — are now designed to be presentable and "socially accept­ able” at table. The next time you open one of these glass jars, do mot use the contents merely as a "spread” but try one of these honey recipes and you will be delighted with your discovery.
