VEGETABLES TOO OLD
FAULT WITH MOST OF THEM
MARKETED IN THIS COUNTRY.
Within the Power Of Housewives to
Bring About Proper Conditions
Frequently Cooks Will Boil
Them Too Long.

Nine-tenths Of the vegetables sold In
the markets are too old; they are
past the period of best flavor. This IL
especially true of peas and beans, both
string and lima. Many traveller re-
turning from France and Italy has
complained that the peas and beans In
those countries are 30 superior to ours.
AS a matter of fact, We can and do
grow vegetables equally good, but we
pick them too late and cook them too
long.
A majority of farmers are more con-
cerned about the size of their vegeta-
bles than about their flavor, and where
farmer or a merchant who knows
tries to market his produce at the per-
feet stage he Is apt to be criticized by
the ignorant for selling small vegeta-
bles.
Several years ago farm was
started on the farm-to-family-ha
idea. The owners of this farm knew
how things should be grown, and
when they should be harvested. Their
stock was Of the best, and every vege-
table was picked at the proper stage.
Their hampers were delight to con-
noisseurs; the vegetables were young,
fresh and of perfect flavor. But from
number of persons who never had
tasted really young vegetables came
back complaints.
"The skins of the potatoes are so
thin they are hard to peel" "The
peas and beans are not as large as we
can get in the market" etc.
This was before the vegetables had
been tasted; afterward there were no
complaints. The point is obvious; but
1t serves to show the difficulties In the
way of procuring vegetables at their
best. We never will get them until
housewives learn to demand them-to
refuse the large, mealy peas and beans
and accept only the young and succu.
lent.
In preparing vegetables, the average
cook boils them too long. AS a mat
ter of fact, many vegetables are better
steamed than boiled. as steaming pre-
serves better their flavor; but the diff
ference Is hardly worth the extra trou-
Bile entailed But the extra trouble
due to watching the boiling vegetables
and taking them out when they are
cooked to perfection is well worth
while.
A majority of cooks let their vege-
tables boil from ten to twenty min
utes longer than is necessary, while
they prepare or serve other dishes.
Such cooks should be taught that the
flavor of boiled vegetables is destroyed
by overlooking. just as surely as is
the flavor of meat or other dishes. In
brief, the cooking of vegetables is as
much an art as any other culinary
branch. They cannot, as many appear
to believe, be treated as carelessly as
a pot of plain boiling water.
