Tells of Festive
Place Nuts Now
holiday season is one of the
“nuttiest” of the year. Nuts ap-
pear almost everywhere—in the
toe of Christmas stockings, on
top Of festive fruitcakes, even
as part of centerpieces on Yule
dinner tables, says County HD
Agent Mrs. Claudia McDonald.
From Thanksgiving to Christ-
mas, nuts are used in abundance.
They also are finding their way
onto more dinner tables in a
greater variety of ways all year
around.
Americans are eating more
nuts than ever before. Since
1920, per capita consumption
has increased more than 50 per-
cent.
Almonds, for eaxample, are
now included in many prepared
food mixes and frozen foods—
noodles almondine, green beans
frosting mixes. And you can buy
almonds any way you want them
—diced, sliced, slivered, blanch-
ed, roasted and salted.
Pecans also are increasing
their popularity and uses. Since
1920, consumption has jumped
nearly half a pound per person.
Pecans now total nearly a fourth
of all the tree nuts we eat.
Nuts are moving from the
luxury class to the common-
place. As incomes rise, you can
and confections and as snack
items.
