flavor but adds to their food
Wheat and corn meal share
honors for hot breads. These
cereals are energy foods high in
starch but their nutritive value
varies with the method of milling
used.
Both wheat and corn have a
"floury" part called the enod-
sperm, the germ which is rich IN
oil and certain vitamines and the
husk. In wheat the germ repre-
sents only about 2 per cent OF
the entire grain, but is rich IN
yitamines B, E, and G. The oil
in the germ tends to become ran
cid in time so this is often re-
moved.
White flour and white cornmeal
are not so rich in food value as
the more lowly whole wheat flour
and yellow corn meal. However,
they do make delicious products.
Adding fruit to hot breads in
creases the mineral and vitamine
content.
Bananas rich in calcium phos-
phorus and vitamines add a deli
cious taste to these mullins. Here S
