vegetables keep
without much loss. Such vegetables,
If bought or stored in season, cost
less than many other articles of diet.
These vegetables carry large amount
of water, 70 to 80 per cent, and from
10 to 80 per cent Of solids. AS there
Is little or no nitrogenous matter, it
is important that such food should be
supplied with them, an exclusive vege-
table diet is consequently not desir-
able. There is a considerable quantity
Of mineral salts in them, and the
woody fiber which they contain make
them an important food. When used
with other foods rich in protein the
tubers and roots supply large amount
of fuel for the body's needs. The
coarse, woody fiber, though undigested
itself, holds other foods, so that the
digestive juices have better action
upon them, as they could not if the
food were in q solid mass.
The mineral salts in vegetables are
used in various ways in the functions
of the body; they also assist in the
maintenance of the alkalinity Of the
blood, a most important Office.
We are not familiar enough with the
value of vegetables, or fail when read
ing their food value to put the en-
phasis on the valuable constituents.
Vegetables require some labor 10 pre-
pare, hence many housewives buy
canned goods which are not an econ
omy to the buyer when fresh winter
vegetables may be obtained. Where
one cans her own vegetables in the
season Of plenty, canned vegetables
are valuable, as they afford a larger
variety.
There should never be one spoonful
of leftover vegetables wasted. Two
or three may be added to cream
soup. making one little out of the
ordinary.
