Nowadays, no one consciously wast- es food but - manypcaple unconscious- ly waste food values, precious vitamins and minerals, — through improper methods of cooking. Take the case,of the potato, for in- stance. Properly cooked, potatoes can provide valuable amounts of Vitamin C, so let's give them the respectful at- tention they- deserve, urges Nutrition Services.
