1 ow -Priced foods 'With 111311 Nutri
titre Values,
During' the present crisis of the food
Motet the housewife m11y be interest-
ed to blow that a large variety of
food products rich in nutritive value
may he purelhased at reasonable prices.
For instance, potatoes, 010' most wide-
ly timed vegetable, have 0103 and eight -
Writhe per cent, of protein, one-tenth
of olio per cent. of fat incl fourteen
and seven -tenths per cent, of sugar or
carbohydrate, Rico, an the other
hand, contains about five times as
mucic of these food essentials and
may be prepared in n variety of ways
suitable to the appetite. The various
eoolc books show recipes of a number
of dainty and palatable dishes of rice.
Onion, which are commanding a
high price, have only a small food
value. This, is also true of such
vegetables as cabbage, lettuce and cot.
ery, the greater bulk of which is made
up of water and cellulose. Far more
valuable than these are peas and
beans, which are rich in protein and
carbohydrate content.
Mush is also recommended lis an
elegant substitute for the more ex-
pensive foodstuffs, for its nutritive
value places it among the foremost
nourishing table conhnlodities.
As a suitable substitute for butter
on, your bread we may return to our
childhood favorite, molasses, which to
comparatively cheap and mapabe of
producing abundant heat and energy,
Miik and cheese are within reach of
us all and aro very rich, nutritious
foods. Sour milk prepared especially
as a table delicacy is a valuable and
nourishing product. Sour cream, is
also a palatable and heat -generating
food.
Among the various other com-
modities which have high food values
and yet come within reach of all wage-
earners are cocoa, macaroni, oatmeal,
dried fruits, canned salmon, mackerel
and codfish.
In recommending foods of low price
and high nutritive value it must be
remembered that palatability is a
principle of dietetics which must not
be overlooked. Foods must ho pre-
pared to appeal to the appetite, for
there is a greater secretion of the di-
gestive juices and metabolism is en-
hanced when edibles are attractive and
pleasing.
No' is it the intention to request
the housewife to retiree the variety of
tab,e delicacies, fora mixed diet is
most desirable. When the 581110
menu is repeated too often there is a
tendency to lessee) the appetite. While
some foods may have relatively great
heat -producing value, they may con-
tain a large proportion of indigestible
products which have 710 food value, but
which net as "fillers" or "roughage"
tending to make up the bulk of food
end acting as laxative agents upon the
bowels, thus serving a valuable pur-
pose.
The housewife should, therefore, re-
member the three essentials necessary
for a well-balanced diet if she desires
to limit herself to the cheaper foods
--palatability, variety and digestibil-
ty.
