show the following changes.
During the past 15 and 20
years, families have been eat
ing less fresh, and more froz
en and processed fruits. Froz
en concentrated juice sales
have increased greatly.
The trend has also been
toward more processed veget
ables and somewhat fewer
fresh vegetables. However,
many fresh vegetables are
convenience foods because
they are trimmed, washed and
packaged, the economists
note. Many are available year
around.
Wage-earning homemakers
are likely to shop either for
processed vegetables that re
quire little cooking or heating,
or for vegetables suited to
quick salads. They want time
and worksaving foods that
can be served in a jiffy soon
after the woman returns from
work.
Shoppers are also more
health and weight conscious,
and choose items considered
low in calories.
The OSC specialists report
that one in three persons em
ployed now is a woman. In
January, a b o u t 2 1 ,000,000
women were employed out
side the home compared to
only 12,000,000 in 1940. In
about this same period, pro
cessing of vegetables in
creased from a third to a half
the total supply of fruits and
vegetables, particularly frozen
ones. Because of their higher
earning, shoppers are able to
pay for convenience and out
of season foods, they L point
out.

Food Specialist
Gives Directions For
Ripening Tomatoes
Corvallis Ripen tomatoes
at cool room temperatures.
They'll have better, flavor,
texture and color.
Miss Zelma Reigle, Oregon
State college food marketing
specialist, says the old-time
practice of ripening tomatoes
on sunny warm window sills
does more harm than good.
Heat turns tomatoes yellow.
For best color, flavor, and
texture, and vitamin value
tomatoes should be ripened at
room temperature or a little
below, between 60 and 75 de
grees, she recommends.
To ripen, tomatoes should
be mature, grown to their full
size and just ready to turn
color. Good quality mature
green tomatoes or partially
ripened tomatoes are better
buys than red tomatoes that
are overripe, soft or bruised,
according to Miss Reigle.
Once ripe, tomatoes keep
better in the refrigerator. If
ripened in the refrigerator,
they become pale, watery,
soft and lack flavor. Never
wrap tomatoes with paper to
keep them dark.
