Title: Vegetables
Description: Abstract: Quantity vegetable recipes that use USDA food commodities and that are suggested for use in the Title VII Nutrition Program for the Elderly are included. When using USDA food commodities effectively, menus under the Title VII program can be enhanced, especially when foods with the increased sensory appeal that the elderly prefer are served. The experience of the Southeast Missouri Area Agency on Aging with these recipes shows that their use increases menu variety and food consumption and also reduces costs. Vegetables recipes include those for asparagus, beans, beets, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, corn, eggplant, grits, okra, onions, parsnips, peas, potatoes, rice, sauerkraut, spinach, squash, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, turnips, and zucchini. Individual recipes include Haiku Beets, Royal Rice and Herbed Zucchini.
