MISSION, KS--(Marketwire - April 12, 2010) - (Family Features) Everywhere around us people are talking about the importance of learning what's going into our food. These days, we're all looking for wholesome and natural choices for ourselves and our families.
Spring is the perfect season to start thinking about renewing your food choices and getting back to the basics of using simple, real ingredients. This spring, incorporate a new ingredient into your cooking -- 100% pure honey. 100% pure honey is an all-natural sweetener, and contains only one simple ingredient: honey, the way nature intended. Always be sure to check the label to make sure its 100% pure honey. If there are other ingredients listed other than honey, it's not 100% pure or natural.
Spice up your spring and try the following light and refreshing recipe using 100% pure honey and other natural ingredients. For more recipes, like a Sparkling Honey Fruit Spritzer drink to accompany this meal, visit www.Honey.com.
