Most homemakers I find wish
to find ways to help save foods
necessary for starving folks-and
welcome any new ideas. Two ways
to help are using the plentiful
raw foods and the substitutes for
wheat flour.
This article will deal with the
plentiful raw food-carrots and
the use of eggs as a substitute
thickening agent for flour.
Most of this months plentiful
carrot supply will be small young
bunch carrots, time savers for the
busy homemaker, because small
carrots not only cook quickly, but
are especially well suited to SER
wing raw. And large or small, raw
or cooked, carrots are rich in the
carotene from which the body
makes vitamin A. .s... III
Most green plants retain their
carotene in their leaves where
it's yellow pigment is hidden by
the green of the chlorophyll. But
some plants transfer part of their
carotene to their roots, and SO
become yellow vegetables Hence
the decorative golden color of the
carrot. So rich are carrots in car

otene that even the name 'carot
enc" is taken from them.
To add crisp texture to a meal,
serve raw grated carrots or slen-
der carrot strips cut lengthwise,
say home economists Of the U. S.
Department Of Agriculture. For
salad bowl contrast, combine raw
carrots with shredded cabbage or
chopped celery, onion, or green
pepper.
Cooked carrots may be season
ed with good-flavored meat OF
poultry drippings. The vitamin a
value of carrots is not affected
by cooking. But to make the most
of the flavor and other food val
ues, home economists suggest
these rules for boiling: -
Boil young tender carrots in
their skins If carrots are peeled
at all, make scrapings no more
than skin deep.
Start the carrots off in already
boiling sailed water. For young
carrots use just enough water tc
cover.
Keep the kettle covered. This
speeds cooking and saves flavor
and food values. ....."
Cook only until tender.

nese cooks and use egg strands
Just before the soup IS ready to
serve and while it is still simmer
ing, pour in beaten egg gradually
The egg cooks in attractive vel

ing in contact with the hot soup
Serve at once.
For Thickening: Any cook who
has ever made custard knows the
thickening ability of the egg. Egg
may be used also to thicken some
gravies and sauces in which flour
is ordinarily used. Two precau-
tons must be taken, however, to
prevent egg from curdling rather
than thickening. The first is tc
cook at low heat-simmering tenn
peratures preferred. The second is
to pour little of the hot mixture
into the beaten egg first, and Their
add this mixture the rest Of the
hot liquid
For example, a Clear slightly
thick gravy for chicken stew may
be made by adding little Of the
hot chicken broth to well-beater
egg and then stirring the mixture
into the remainder of the broth
Never hold the gravy over direct
heat after egg is added.
