Tomatoes Great
Source of Most
Needed Vitamins
If you're a vitamin fan get more
tomatoes to can.
This is the suggestion of Miss
Lucy A. Case, extension nutrition
specialist at O. S. C, who calls at
tention to the fact that the tomato
almost spans the vitamin alphabet.
One medium-sized ripe tomato will
will furnish about half a day's re
quirement for vitaman C (ascorbic
acid) and about one-fifth of the vita
min A needs for the day. In addi
tion it will contribute some Vitamin
Bl, vitamin G, and the pellagra pre
ventative vitamin.
A supreme court decision back in
1893 held that a tomato is a vegeta
ble, even though botanically it is a
fruit. Regardless of that, it is diet-
etically one of the cheapest and best
sources of food rich in vitamins.
Tomatoes are one of the vegetables
easiest to can successfully at home,
Miss Case points out. And, according
to a recent experiment of the federal
bureau of home economics, tomatoes
put up by recommended home-can
ning methods, even though they lose
some of their vitamin C in storage
after canning, still rate as a good
source of that vitamin.
Unlike most vegetables, tomatoes
are an acid food. Therefore they need
not be processed in a steam pressure
canner. Instead, processing in a wa
ter bath for a reasonable length of
time will kill any trouble-making
bacteria that happen to be present,
Ideal tomatoes for canning are
firm, ripe, of a fine red color, and
free from decay. Skin the tomatoes
and core them, then pack into glass
jars or tin cans. Be careful to re
move every bit of the green core
which might cause spoilage if left in
the tomato. To can them "cold pack,"
put them as closely as possible into
the containers, preferably in tin to
prevent access of air. Add 1 teaspoon
salt for every quart, fill the can or
jar with tomato juice, then process
in boiling water 45 minutes for pint
and quart glass jars and 35 minutes
for No. 2 and 2 tin cans.
