well as mineral salts.
Cauliflower should always be put
in cold salt and water for an hour
before cooking. Allow one teaspoon
salt to one quart water and use
enough water to more than cover
the vegetable. The flowerets may
be separated or the head cooked
and served whole.

Wheat.

Wheat comes next to oats in its
protein content. Bought in bulk,
wheat preparations are among the
cheapest foods there are and should
therefore be a standard article on
the housewives list.
The wheat breakfast foods are di-
gestible and nutritious, according to
the parts Of the grain they contain.
If made from the entire kernel, really
whole wheat foods, they contain, of
they are not SO completely digested
as are those from which the bran and
germ have been removed. 1t is just
a question Of how much roughage the
system needs and can handle that de-
termines whether one shall eat whole
wheat preparations, and how much.
Some wheat breakfast foods are
made by sterilizing the -four mid
dlings after the removal of the bran
and germ. These differ from wheat
fiour only in mechanical makeup and
size Of the particles.
If granular wheat middlings can be
had In bulk at the same price as
-four. they are q cheap and excellent
breakfast food. But il a much higher
price must be paid for them, they are
not, for they contain no more food
value than flour.
Gluten fiours are specially prepared
for diabetic patients, whose allowance
Of starch is very small, by washing
out the starch from the gluten, or as
much of it as possible. Only fours
prepared in this way can honestly be
called gluten iours. Many are so
called which prove upon analysis to
be essentially no different from ordi-
nary s4our.
Some wheat breakfast foods are
made by drying and toastinE a dough
made from crushed wheat kernels.
There are great many grades of
among them In chemical composition
is wide, from as high as 16 per cent
protein, for instance, to as low as
eight. Good wheat is necessary for
good wheat breakfast foods.
