I irEDFOTCD MAIL TKTBUXE, JIEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1932. PAGE SEVEN Fresh Tomatoes Carry Special Value in Diet (By the Bureau of Home Economics, V, S. Department of Agriculture.) Preah, homegrown tomato, lua clou bec&UM ripened on the vine, are now both plentiful and cheap, In many atatea and cities that must depend upon shipments In other parts of the year, the tomato crop Is now at Its peak, ana tomatoes are selling at their lowest prices. The Bureau of Home Economics directs attention to this opportunity because tomatoes have a special value In any low-cost diet. The tomato was popular long be fore housewives understood Its great Importance In the diet. Now, because of the essential food substances It .contains, it Is considered one of the (most valuable foods In the American 'diet. Thus popularity and Importance combine to make a demand to which producers have responded with large tomato crops. Tomato production In the .United States now runs to more than four billion pounds a year for market and canning purposes on'.y, not Including the tomatoes In home gardens for home use. The food values of the tomato are much the same as those of the orange, grapefruit and other cltnis fruits. It la rich In vitamins A, 3 and O, and even When cooked or can ned It retains its vitamin values. This gives It especial Importance as a source of vitamins B and C, because these two vitamins are usually de estroyed by heating. The acid of the emato prevents that loss when to matoes are cooked or canned. From the homemaker's standpoint, the tomato Is a satisfactory article of food because. It can be used In so many ways. Raw, cooked or can ned, It furnishes a welcome contrast to many other vegetables, both In .flavor and color. And it can be serv- ed at any meal or in any part of any meal. It Is the only common vegetable that may be safely canned at home without a pressure cooker. Thua It can be put away for use In winter when fresh vegetables and fruits, th eonly other equally good sources of vitamin C, may be out of season or out of reach because of cost. Of tomato dishes there are literally scores, partly because tomatoes com bine so well with other foods of so many kinds. They may be cooked with meat-Swiss steak, for Instance or they may be cut in half and baked on a slice of ham. Stuffed and baked, and served with grated cheese, they make an appetizing main dish for dinner, lunch or supper. To matoes, corn and cheese on toast make a combination of food values amounting to a whole meal in one dish. Raw tomatoes, stuffed with cole slaw, or stuffed with chopped cooked meat and chopped celery or chopped cabbage; or with canned Sal mon and chopped celery or cabbage, provide still more vitamins, with sus tenance of other kinds besides. A salad of tomatoes and cottage cheese, or of sliced tomatoes and sliced hard cooked egg. Is another dish rich in vitamin, protein and minerals ts well. For babies, and for everybody, one of the most useful and convenient letma on the modern American menu is tomato Juice. Plain tomato Juice or orange Juice for the baby, say the nutritionists, are equally good, and one or the other Is very necessary, for the baby's food would otherwise be very deficient In vitamin C. For the rest of the family, tomato juice cocktail la more Interesting, and this may be made In a dozen ways, ae accordlng to taste. Other cocktails are simple combination is tomato Juice and sauerkraut juice. In proportions according to taste. Other coc tails are flavored with onion, celery, tomato catsup, or horseradish. Then there are the green tomato possibilities some of them quite as attractive as ripe tomato dishes. Merely to mention fried green toma toes, green tomato pickles, or green tomato pie Is proof of thai. Fried tomatoes, by the way, ac cording to bureau expert, are best if the slices are dipped in egg di luted with water, then dipped in fine bread crumbs or corn meal, and al lowed to dry a little before frying. Many people prefer underripe or green tomatoes for frying. MENU FOR ONE DAY Breakfast. Hot Cereal Fried Tomatoes Bread and Butter Tomato Juice for Baby Coffee (adults) Milk (children).
