Try Some KaIe
By MARY DOUGLAS


If you don't like spinach, try kale,
suggests Miss Margaret McPheeters,
Maryland extension nutritionist, in
pointing out that this low cost and
useful vegetable is not only rich in
iron, but also in another mineral,
calcium, and in carotene which
makes vitamin A.
The mild weather has helped to
make kale supplies abundant, and
in many Maryland gardens the crop
may winter over till spring. To get
the most food value from it, the kale
should be cooked just enough to
make the leaves tender. With short
cooking in just enough sailed water
added to prevent its sticking to the
bottom of the kettle, the vitamin c
in the vegetable is saved. Use of
little water keeps the iron and cal
cium in the leaves, instead of letting
them run off in the cooking water.
Length of cooking time has little eff
feet on carotene, the source of vita
min A, in which kale is almost as
rich as carrots 1t is therefore also
a good food for persons who need
more votamin A to help avoid night
blindness or poor eyesight in dim
light.
The kale leaves also are good
cooked in a heavy skillet, with a
little fat, steamed under a cover
until they are tender. Small tender
leaves can also be cut into tossed
salad. To use the larger leaves,
cut out the tough midribs and dis
card them.
Right now you can find kale,
washed and picked ready for the
kettle, put up in cellophane bags at
the grocery stores and all you have
to do is dump it into the kettle and
cook it as directed above.

There is whale of a lot of good
nutrition in a pound of rice and there
are many ways of cooking it too.
According to Beth Bailey Mclean,
noted home economist, who worked
with the Southern Rice industry for
many years, all cooks do not produce
snowy-white rice with full grains and
of delicious flavor usually because
the rice has not been cooked proper
ly, so here is how she says rice
should be boiled.
Boiled Rice
Wash l cup rice thoroughly in
several waters until all the loose
starch is removed. Drain. Have the
boiling water e qts.) ready in deep
saucepan, add 3 tsp. salt, slowly
dropping the rice in land allow to
boil for about II or 25 minutes, or
until a grain pressed between the
thumb and finger is entirely soft.
In order to prevent the rice from
sticking to the pan, lift, if necessary,
from time to time with fork, but
DO NOT STIR it, and DO NOT
OVERLOOK. When sufficiently
cooked, turn the rice into colander
or sieve A little hot water may be
run through the rice to wash off eX-
ira starch. After the water has
drained off cover with cloth and set
over pan of hot water on the back of
stove or in the oven for short time.
Treated in this way, the grains swell
and are kept separate.
Rice cooked in hard water is not
as white as that cooked in soft water.
One teaspoon of lemon juice, one
half teaspoon of cream of tartar, or
one tablespoon Of vinegar may be
used in hard water to insure a snowy
white cooked rice
Steamed rice produces less distinct
grains than boiled rice, so that boil
ing is recommended especially when
cooking it for croquettes and for
very young children and invalids.
Rice is one of the few foods which
is easily reheated and does not
change in flavor when reheated Left
over rice may be added to boiling,
sailed water, cooked for minutes,
then drained and allowed to dry out
and fluff. Or it may be reheated in
the oven by adding a little water to
the pan, covering and heating until
the grains are thoroughly hot.
Brown rice may be cooked the
same as white rice, but the time re-
quired for cooking is at least twice
as long. The brown variety is often
soaked in tepid water to soften the
bran coats and shorten the cooking
period.
Water drained from boiled rice
may be used for sauces and soups,
or for starching fine fabrics and
