Raisins, It is pointed out, can be
served in perhaps a greater variety OF
ways than any other similar food no
matter how prepared, raisins retain
their health-building qualities ana.
their wonderful flavor--another thing
that many other foods do not do.
Raisins have another quality which
is the greatestSof the three; more I'M
portant to the average person than
because raisins are so good or because
they can be so conveniently served
in a variety of ways. Raisins have a
distinct health value bacause OF their
heavy content of organic iron. They
aid digestion, revitaliZe anemic blood
and lately have become the delicious
way to satisfy between-meal craving
for an energizing food.
California raisins are prepared in
three varieties. They are the seeded,
from which the seeds are removed,
seedless raisins, which are grown
without seeds, and the cluster ralsins, |
served on the stem just as they rae
dried in the vineyard.
The seeded and seedless varieties |
are cooking raisins, although since |
the introduction Of the now-famous
five-cent package Of seedless ratsins,
this brand has become popular as a |
CONNECTION too. Clusters are also
served uneooked and when placed on
the table with a bowl of nuts are in
variab1y an attractive dish.
One OF the most popular dishes, |
which is destined to become ever more
popular during this week, is stewed
raisins served at breakfast. With or1
in place of the usual cereal, stewed
raisins add to the first meal of the
day a new and delicious flavor. And
because they are an energy-building
food, the delightful habit Of stewed /
raisins at breakfast will develop into
one OF the finest tonics for perfectioni
in health that it is possible to secure
through foods.
