Firing Up the Grill for the Fourth? Think Honey.

Just in time for the holiday, the Honey Board has a few recipes to recommend — for the grill. Honey is a pretty common ingredient for marinades and sauces. These recipes capture that sweet-spicy combination of flavors I personally love.
Before you go for the tongs, the Honey Board has a few pointers on why this food is sustainable AND an eco-friendly choice:
- Honey is an all-natural food that leaves a small eco-footprint.
- Purchasing local honey encourages growth of the local economy and reduces production waste.
- Many farmers have hives on their land, in part because bees are responsible for one out of every three bites we consume.
- If it weren’t for honey bees, we would suffer from a limited supply of oranges, apples, blueberries, cucumbers and strawberries.
Recipes for your holiday cook out include Grilled Tofu Kabobs with a Honey-Chipotle Glaze.
