ROOT VEGETABLES
FOR WINTER OAYS
Bureau Home Economics
Gives Tips On Prepara
tion to Retain Maximum
Nutrition in Family Diet
Por winter vegetable we draw
largely upon the root cropa, nos
only because they happen to be or
the most part ouch BUbstantlal food
for any time of year, but because
they can be atored fresh In the fall
and used as needed later on. 80 the
bureau of home economic of the
U. 8. department of agriculture turn
attention to the market prospect
aa to root vegetables for the coming
winter months.
The term "root vegetable" shoiua
not be taken too literally. It in
cludes potatoes, which, strictly speak
tng, are tubers rather than roots;
sweet potatoes, carrots, turnips, par
snips, beets, and salsify or oyitor
plant, which are true roots; and
onions, though they are bulb and
belong to the Illy family.
There la no question this year
about the market supply of our two
great staple vegetables potato and
aweet potatoes. The potato crop this
year is a big one. The September
estimate of the U. 8. department
of agriculture put the figure
373 million bushels, which Is more
than the average of recent years,
though last year's crop was bigger.
Of sweet potatoes, always a staple
In the south, and becoming more
and more popular In the north, there I
are more then In any recent year.
Plenty of Carrots.
The . carrot crop, also bigger this
year than usual, ha Increased at'
most steadily for 10 year past, until
now the markets take five or six
times the shipments of earlier years.
Carrots rank much higher aa a vege-
. table than they did when the prin
cipal way of using them wia In
vegetable soups and meat and vegC'
table stews. Now we use carrots in
many other .ways raw In salads,
ereamed, baked, mashed, as well u
steamed or boiled or fried In com
bination with apples, or stewed with
celery or onions, or In souffle and
custards.
This 1 largely because nutrition-
lets have spread their knowledge ut
the food value of carrots, and this
has given the vegetable a new statu
In the diet. At the same time gar
deners, meeting the Increased de
mand, have supplied the market
with 1 tender young carrots, which
are more succulent and more dell
cflto than the mature roots and "
mure attractive for some purposes,
These young carrots are so tender
, they can be cooked In the skins,
and are at their best when served
simply with molted butter and
little lemon juice. Northern markets
receive them In winter from Call'
fornl a, Texas and Arizona by the
Hundreds of carload.
"Winter carrots," or stored oar
rota, the older, often home-grown
roots, are harvested In the fall for
storage, and with tops cut off are
shipped to market In bags to be
sold to the consumer by the pound
These are of course cheaper than
young carrots shipped with their
tops on and so handled that they
are fresh when they reach the con
sumerfor. when you buy carrots
with tops, the top should be fresh.
Older Carrots Good.
There la no point, however, in
buying the tender young carrots tor
stewa or for mashing or grating, or
to cut In sticks as a relish. For
these purposes the older carrot,
without tops end cheaper, serve Just
as well.
The carrot 1 Important In the
diet because It Is a rich source ot
vitamin A. Its yellow color Is due
to a substance chemists call caro
tene, and In recent years they have
discovered that carotene becomes
vitamin A, either In the vegetabltt
or In the animal body that con
sumes It. Tins vitamin stimulates
growth In chlldron and U necessary
for general well-being at all agea.
Particularly it helps the human body
to resist lnrectlons of eves, sinuses,
and glands of the mouth and throat.
The yellow-fleshed veetables car
rots, sweet potatoes, yellow turnips,
yellow squash contain it, and so do
the green leafy ones,
Carrots have other vitamin values.
and good mineral values, and as
some of these are easily lost In cook
Ipg and serving any vegetable, the
fact that carrots used raw are at
tractive, makes them additionally
valuable to the family menu plan
ner. Por this same reason, turnips also
are more valuable than some vege
tables that are always cooked. Raw
turnips, either cut In stick to be
served celery-fashion, or diced for a
salad, are an excellent source ot
vitamin C, and yellow turnips fur
nish also vitamin A. Turnips, too,
are plentiful this year.
Parsnips, which are related to car
rots botanically, are by no means
so much In demand as a market
vegetable, and their food value is
much leas. But they are widely grown
in home gardens and they can bo
stored easily. Favorite ways of cook'
lng parsnips are to parboil, scrape
off the akin, slice lengthwise and
bake; or dip the pieces In flour and
fry them; or mash and make Into
cakes for frying; or scallop In milk.
Beets are In greater demand than
parsnips, and northern markets get
their winter supplies of young beets
chiefly from Texas, Baby beets, boiled
and buttered, are a delicacy, and
sweet-sour beet, so different In fla
vor and color from other vegetables,
add variety to the vegetable plate
at any time of year. The food value
of bets Is not great, however. One
thing to remember In cooking beta
is that they "bleed" when the skin
1 broken, Therefore the tops should
not be cut too close, And the beets
should be boiled In their skins. They
may be peeled and diced and baked
In a covered baking dlflh but hero
the closed dish take the place or
the akin.
Oyster Plant Useful.
Salsify, or oyater plant, or vege
table oyster, a you choose, Is better
known a a home garden vegetable
than as a market crop, but It Is s
root that can be stored like other
root crops, or even left In the ground
over the winter. It Is a useful addi
tion to the winter vegetable list be
cause It Is so different In flavor
Also, It Is an excellent source 01
Iron richer than any other root
vegetable In this Important mineral
Salsify 1 usually cooked In small
pieces, and either creamed, buttered,
or mashed and baked. Or It may be
mashed and mixed with mashed po
tatoes and made Into small cakeif
and fried.
Of the onion crop In this country
a very large part Is used "rather as
a seasoner than as an edible," as
one old-time writer puts It. Bui
onions appear on many a table in
their own right as an "edible"
baked, scalloped, stuffed, creamec.
or fried, including Prench-frled.
Tielr chief value Is their appetising
flavor, though they have a little
vitamin value also, ,
Onions can be stored so well that
they are on the market at all sea
sons, not only from the market gar
dens of our warmer climates, but
from every part of this country ana
as Imports from several other coun
tries besides. Over 30 thousand car
loads, and nobody knows how many
truck loads were shipped to city
markets last year, besides the enor
mous quantities grown In home gar
dens for home use.
