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.
