6Econo-Eating'
There's more to compare in
food buying than price. Bar
gain hunting and shopping for
lower prices is a real chal
lenge. 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

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.
Many people are concerned
about the possibility of spoil

breakfast.
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.

The high concentration of

acid to allow safe processing

Because the correct acidity
level is essential for safe

Cut fresh broccoli into thin
