DEOPLE of sedentary occupation and
i those inclined toward a vegetable
diet will find that nuts may form
sfaple article of their diet to replace
meat. Nuts and nut products are high
d ly concentrated foods and should be
eaten sparingly or combined with other
foods for satisfactory results.
~ Fruits. cereals. lcafy green's and the
succulent vegetables are the natural ac-
commandment of all nut foods and they
Should constitute the chief bulk OF the
dietary in planning nut menus. i'r4-
,tein and fats form a large part ot the
X tcopstitucntS Of nuts and we should
(, bear in mind that the average person
requires about on" ana one wv
Il ounces Of fat three ounces Of protein
foods per day. so that in eating about
four ounces of sheled nuts a day you
would obtain your full requirement Of
rrotein and fat and the balance OF the
menu should be made of cereals. vege-
tables and fruits.
The fat in nuts is more easily as
simulated by the digestive tract than
other varieties of fats and oils and for
this reason they produce a greater pro.
portion of heat and energy forces.
Nuts require. when eaten in their
pntural state. to be thoroughly Chcwcd
Us they contain about 80 per cent uutri
mpnt and very little moisture. Unless
well broken up. they are extremely slow
( IN digcSting. Tho average time for di-
gcsting nuts and nut products is about
three hours.
Under the heading OF nuts we have
almonds. beechnuts. brazil. butter
nuts. chcstnuts. coconuts. tlbertsN
hazelnuts. hickory nuts. peanuts, pc
cans, pine nuts, pistachios and wal
nuts, which make splendid variety
from which to choose.
Every variety of nut butter may be
made if II nut butter knife is placed
on the food chopper. While this nut
butter will not be quite so fine as the
peanut butter sold in the shops. it
will BE- found to be delicious. Many of
the nut buffers may be purchased al
ready ground and ready for instant use
Among them. Pignolia. Mexican or
Italian pine nut.
