How to Save Values in
Cooking, Canning Food
By Bureau of Horn Economic, V. thm from your garden. If you lt
Department of Agriculture
Bom of the tame queitlon that
viae in cooking of fresh vegeUblea
and frulU come up also In canning
o there are two reasons for dU
eusslng them Just now. Some ways
of cooking save food values, and oth
ers waste the minerals and vitamins,
of which most vegetable and fruits
are a very Important source.
Tou lose mineral value when you
cook vegetables In too much water
and drain off the liquid after
cooking. Calcium, which U one of
the bone-making minerals, and Iron,
which is a blood builder, are dis
solved In this way and a consider
able percentage Is lost. Bo with other
mineral salts found In fresh vege
tables. To avoid this loss as far as
possible, cook your vegetables In very
little water and serve the liquid with
them in the form of a sauce
gravy.
In canning, hot-pack your vege
tables and most of your fruits, and
fill up the cans with the liquid In
which you pre-cooked them. And
when you serve the canned food,
serve Juice and all.
When It comes to saving vitamins,
the cooking problem Is a different
one. and so Is the canning problem.
In fact, It is different for dlferent
vitamins.
We look to vegetables and fruits
for a good part of our supply of vita
mins. Vitamin A, as It happens, Is
not much affected by the cooking
process. But both vitamin B and
vitamin C are affected by heat, and
by oxidation. Destruction of vita
min B takes place more rapidly where
there Is both heat and water, as In
cooking. To save this vitamin, short,
quick cooking, at the boiling point or
Just below. Is best.
Vitamin O, however, Is more trou
blesome. It la very easily destroyed
by heat and oxidation. That Is why
nutritionists tell us to make sure of
this vitamin by eating some vego
tables raw. But for the time of year
when fresh fruits and vegetables are
out of season, we must use canned
ones, and It Is Important to know
how to conserve the vitamins In
canning. Right here we get a lucky
"break," so to speak, because toma
toes, the best of all vegetables for
vitamin C, will provide It whether
raw or cooked or canned. Tomatoes,
unlike the non-acid vegetables, do
not lose much of their vitamin O
when cooked or canned. Their acid
ity protects the vitamin O content.
But again there Is a "how" to It
with tomatoes as well as everything
else. To save vitamin O as well as
vitamin B, cook as short a time as
possible, at the boiling point or Just
below. As to canning, hero are two
points that are emphasised by the
Bureau of Home Economics:
First: Can fruits and vegetables
lis soon as poalble after you bring
them stand around even In a refriger
ator, they lose some of their vitamin
value.
Second: Use the hot-pack method,
and work fast. The short p re-cook
before you put tlw food In the cans
drives the air out of the tissues.
This helps save food values because
air has a bad effect on vitamins.
Also, the hot-pack makes it possible
to shorten the time the food has to
stay In the water bath or the steam
pressure canner for processing.
Fruits and tomatoes are the foods
easiest to can at home, and they are
also better sources of vitamin O than
the non-acid vegetables. They are
easy to can because they may be
safely processed (1. e., heated In the
cans to kill the bacteria that cause
spoilage) either In a boiling water
math or in the oven. The non-aold
vegetables, such as corn, peas, beans,
and In fact all the others except to
matoes, should to be safe they must
be processed In a steam -pressure
cooker, according to the Bureau of
Home Economics, because for non
acid foods theer Is no other way you
can be sure of temperatures high
enough to kill the bacteria.
Following are directions for can
ning peaches and plums by methods
recommended by the Bureau of Home
Economics. Directions for othr fruits
and vegetables will be furnished on
request to the bureau.
Peaches. Make a thin or medium
syrup as desired. Put in one cracked
peach pit for every quart of syrup.
Boll for five minutes and strain.
Immerse the peaches In boiling
water for about one minute or until
the skint will slip easily, plunge at
once Into cold water for a few sec
onds; remove the skins, cut the
peaches Into halves, and discard the
pits. Some varieties of firm cling
stone peaches require the lye solution
method for peeling. Peaches may be
packed raw, but a better pack Is ob
tained If the fruit Is first simmered
four to eight minutes. Do not cook
until soft. Pack at once, placing the
halves pit side down In overlapping
layers. Fill up the containers with
hot syrup. Process all containers for
IS minutes In boiling water.
Plums. Plums are ordinarily can
ned whoie, and they should be gath
ered Just as they are commencing to
ripen. After they are washed prick
each plum to prevent the skin from
bursting. Fill Into Jars and cover
with boiling medium syrup. Process
quart and pint glass Jars or 2 min
utes In boiling ater and No. 3 and
No. 3 sanitary or R enameled tin cans
for IB minutes.
Or, If preferred, prepare sauce by
cooking the plums with sugar to taste
until the sugar has dissolved. The
pits and skins may be strained out
or not as desired. Fill the containers
boiling hot, and process all sizes for
five minutes In- boiling water. i
