FOOD FOR THOUGHT
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER
Nutrifi0nist for the State Board
of Health.
How Surplus Commodities Can
Supplement Our Other Foods

Throughout the winter many
housewives depend upon dried fruits
such as prunes or apricots to pro-
vide fruit for the breakfast table.
Apricots are more expensive by
the pound, but have no waste in
pits, which helps TO make their
actual cost about the same. Both
apricots and prunes are cheapest
when they can be purchased in bulk,
rather than in boxes.
Soaking OF prunes before cooking
decreases the cooking time and so
saves fuel. For most prunes, one
hour soaking in hot water is suffi-
cient. For drier varieties, an over
night soaking is beneficial.
Whether or not sugar is added
depends partly on taste. and partly on
the variety used. California prunes
are sweet, while Oregon and Wash
imgton prunes are the more tart
Italian type.
The prunes should be simmered
for half an hour. Using the water
to cook the prunes in which they
were soaked saves flavor as well as
nutritive value. A little salt added
before cooking helps ''round out" the
favor.
Prune juice can be prepared by
pressing the prune pulp through a
sieve. Many people like the favor
which little lemon adds TO prune
juice.
Most apricots do not require soak
ing. Simply add them to a small
amount of boiling water and simmer
for about half an hour.
ApricOts and prunes contain very
little vitamin c and so are not a di-
rect substitute for fresh fruit Prune
juice is never a substitute for the
baby's orange or tomato juice. When
prunes or apricOts are used for
breakfast. special attention should
be paid to the use of vitamin erich
foods as tomatoes and fresh vege-
tables.
One pound of prunes or apricots
will serve six to eight people.
Dry. uncooked prunes and apricOts
are easy to pack in lunches and
provide the children with a healthful
dessert.
Both prunes and apricots rate
well with nutritiOnists. They are
rich in energy. iron and vitamin A.
Moreover, they are economical to buy
and easy to prepare.
