Green Apples

green apple must be cooked before you
can safely eat it. Do you know why?
1t is because of the starch Starch, unless
thoroughly cooked, isn't digestible. 1t upsets
the stomach and bowels.
AS the apple ripens the starch changes to
dextrine-digests itself. Then it is safe.
Much of the starch that you eat, like the
starch in green apples, isn't sufficiently cooked.
And wheat is largely starch.
That is why bread, unless toasted, ism t good
for dyspeptics. The inside of the loaf never
gets half enough heat. The granules of the
starch not separated, the digestive juices
can get to them.
That is the reason for Mapl.Flake.
Our wheat is steam cooked for six hours.
Think of that Yet even that is insufficient.
Then flake it-crush each separate berry
to the thinness of paper. Then we toast it, for
80 minutes in ovens heated to 400 degrees
The fake is thin that every atom of starch
gets the full force of that heat.
That is why Mapl-Flake is the best food in
the world 1t is all food. Every atom is avail
able nourishment.
Mapl-Flake is ais delicious
food, because pure aS.-.-.....-s-.
