You feel you've accom plished something when you feed your family for less. Comparing nutritional value is an even greater challenge and may be even more impor tant. For instance, each family member needs vitamin C daily. Needs vary from 35 milligrams for babies to 60 milligrams for adults. You can meet this need by having orange juice every day, giving the baby 3 or 4 ozs. and the adults 34 cup. You can spend your efforts hunting for the best bargain on orange juice, stocking up when the price is low. Frozen or canned orange juice is often the least expensive source of vitamin C. On the other hand, you can become more knowledgeable about other foods containing vitamin C and the amounts of those you can serve to meet the daily need. You can plan ahead. If you know you're going to have Extension gives recipes for home-canned zucchini-pineapple Home-canned zucchini pineapple is becoming popular with homemakers across the nation, but numerous ques tions and concerns regarding the safety of this food prepar ation have come up in recent months, says Dawn Hawkins, County Extension agent.

Fruits and vegetables pro viding vitamin C are seasonal. A fresh medium-sized orange provides the vitamin C needed by an adult. This orange may cost five cents in the plentiful season and 30 cents or more when it is scarce. Cabbage may vary from nine to 59 cents a pound, making it a very cheap source sometimes and fairly expensive at others. Fresh strawberries are a welcome sight when they first come to market, but the 34 cup you need to meet your vitamin C requirement may cost 30 to 40 cents. Well worth the extra money if you're a strawberry lover. The following recipes are high in vitamin C. They are delicious, attractive and easy to prepare.
