Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) may use alcohol for cleaning, sanitation, and medical purposes. Faithful members of the church and potential converts seeking baptism are expected to adhere to a health code called the "Word of Wisdom" which prohibits the recreational consumption of Alcoholic Beverages, so most Mormons do not drink beer, wine, liquor, or cocktails.

What does Mormon use foods as gifts?

If I'm interpreting your question correctly (what foods do Mormons use as gifts?), the answer would be the same as for most people, minus alcohol, coffee, and tea. Some Mormons also don't drink of caffeine, though it isn't a set teaching. Whatever treats (cookies, cakes, etc.) are popular where you live would most likely be popular with Mormons just like anyone else. Just remember: no coffee, tea, or alcohol.

Well Mormons are very much like the average American. The differences that would separate them are the standards to which Mormons live. An active and rule following Mormon will not have sex before marriage, drink alcohol or coffee, smoke, use drugs, watch 'R' rated movies, or view porn. Mormons live life just like other people: some like football some don't, some like classical music some like rock. They are regular people who are just trying to be the best people they can be.

How Mormons live in massachuetts?

Mormons (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) in Massachusetts live just the same as Mormons most anywhere else. Mormons blend with the culture of their community, live in typical homes, dress in typical clothing, and have typical jobs. Mormons do tend to be very religious and believe that worship is the way you live your life, not just what you do at church. Mormons often hold daily family prayer and scripture study in their homes. They believe in clean living and avoid smoking, drugs, alcohol, and coffee. While Mormons still wear the fashions of the day, they avoid revealing clothing or 'extreme' looks. Mormons also devote much of their time to service both in the community and in their congregations.

Can Mormons eat bread made with beer?

It is up to the individual Church member to make that decision for himself/herself. Typically when cooking with beer or wine, the alcohol is burned off in the cooking process. Because of this, most Mormons don't have a problem eating foods cooked with beer or wine, as the Mormon health code prohibits the consumption of alcohol, not the hops, grapes, etc. If you are making the bread as a gift for a Mormon, you might want to consider using a beer with a very low or no alcohol content, such as O'Douls. Then you can assure them that you used a non-alcoholic beer and there is no alcohol in the bread.


What do Mormons eat traditionally?

They believe that tobacco, and caffeine are bad for the body, and therefore try to refrain from the use of these things. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also known as Mormons) adhere to a code of health, known as the Word of Wisdom, that advocates a healthy diet, including moderate use of meat and abstinence from coffee, tea, alcohol, tobacco, and harmful drugs. Mormons also store food for use in emergencies. Additionally, members of the Church donate money regularly to the Church's extensive welfare program to provide food and other necessities to others in need. Visit www.mormon.org for more information.
