But marketing specialists at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food caution that cool, dark storage is needed to main- tain their quality more than a week or so. The Ontario potatoes on the market now are called late or mature potatoes. They are hardier than summer varieties and can be stored inispecialcold storage facilities overthe winter. It is important to care for them properly at home because even small variations in temperature can result in loss of quality. Store potatoes in a cool, dark, well-ventilated area, preferably at temperatures between 8 and 10 degrees Celsius (46 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit). If you don't have this type of storage, keep potatoes at room temperature only 7 to 10 days. It is not advisable to store potatoes in the refrigerator because their flavor can change. And at temperatures above 10 degrees (50 degrees F) they'll soften and may begin to sprout, Keeping potatoes in the' dark is important to prevent them from turning green. If exposed to light, the area where the potato has turned green develops a bitter flavor . ti Shirley ?Ross Smith % lad 70 minutes east By MARY ALDERSON You pick up the chocolate bar, and get ready to take a bite. But before you put it in your mouth, you notice the ingredients listed on the wrapper. Let's see; pearnuts, sugar -- pretty fattening, but they won't hurt you. You read on. Modified oils, sorbitol, soya, lecithin, in- vertase, citric acid, sodium lauryl sulphate, triethyl citrate and artificial flavour. Hey, what is that' stuff you're eating anyway? Artificial flavour? If they don't use chocolate to make the chocolate flavour in a candy bar, what do they use? And what are all those other unpronouncable things? Chemicals? You can bet you'd turn your nose up at them if they weren't offered to you in the disguise of a candy bar. Many people are becoming increasingly concerned about the chemicals, preservatives, artifical. flavours and artificial colours that are found in the food we eat everyday, It is becoming harder and harder to find natural foods.' Fortunately, there is something that can be done about it. Mary Morrice, owner of "For Goodness Sake", a natural food store in Grand Bend is trying to get away from chemicals in her food as much as possible, The next time youcrave chocolate bar, try one of her carob fudge balls. They provide all thesweetnessand satisfaction of a chocolate bar, without any of those strange chemicals. Carob is a substance much like chocolate, and when mixed with natural crushed peanut butter, sunflower seeds, coconut, raisins, natural honey, seasame seeds and nuts, it makes a delicious chewy snack. Mrs. Morrice's store is crammed full of completely natural products. To someone not familiar with health foods, the shop can be overwhelming. For that reason she holds introductory classes in cooking with health foods for the beginner. The class is for one evening only. "Don't eat supper before you come," Mrs. Morrice says. She provides samples of all her dishes. Mrs. MoririceVIS. - not a health food fanatic, and admits that her children occasionally have pop and chips and other junk food. Yet she is concerned about the chemicals which processed food contains. She believes that cancer and perhaps some other diseases can ,be linked with the many unknown preservatives and chemicals in food today. An important part of her class is learning to bake a grain bread. She tells horror Stories about how all the nutrition, is removed and then later put back ar- tifically into the white bread we buy in stores. This occures when the flour for the white. bread is bleached. The bleaching removes most of the wheat's goodness. All the ingredients in her grain loaf are natural. The, brown loaf contains wheat germ, bran, rolled oats, sesame seed, and flax seeds I threw in some sunflower seeds to make it even crunchier. As She showed the class, it was: easy to, make, I have never baked bread before, and I had no difficulties with the loaf rising.. She also showed the group how to make yogurt with, no special equipment. To give, the natural yogurt flavenr, she adds dried apricots and prunes. It is far better nutritionally than the fruit flavoured yogurtavailable in grocery stores, She also demonstrated split pea soup, crunchy granola and Mayonnaise which were made easily without any potentially harmful additives. Another trick to healthier food is growing your own sprouts. Mrs. Morrice told the class how to grow alfalfa sprouts in a glass jar to add. to salads and make sand- wiches tastier. Mrs, lVforrice said .that while health food may take more, time to prepare, it doesn't need to be more expensive, She tries, to keep her prices down, by buying large quantities of the foods,. and selling it in plastic bags, or having the buyer bring her own container. Many times the cost of the glaSs bottle puts the price of the food up. She will sell the contents at a lower price. Her shop also features a huge selection of herbs and spices as well as numerous. teas, Much of what Mrs, Morrice teaches is simply common sense. Her rules are basically a return to Canada's Food Guide, which we all learned in elementery school, She avoids pre-prepared foods and convenience foods. She says she eats less meat than she used to, and more fresh vegetables and fruits, mix and match, skirts, slacks, jackets and vests, and combine with a coordinating sweater or blouse.
