Q. Is it necessary to blanch
vegetables before freezing?
A. Blanching (placing vege-
tables in boiling water) is neces-
sary to inactivate chemical
enzymes which cause deterior-
ation during storage. It also
deepens the natural colour,
partially sterilizes the vege-
tables and makes them softer
for packaging. Most vegetables
when frozen unblanched, lose
colour and vitamins, become
tougher and develop offensive,
"hay -like" flavors in a com-
paratively short time after
freezing.
Q. Does fluid milk have pre-
servatives added to it?
A. No, fluid milk does not have
preservatives added to it. All
milk is pasteurized, which
means it is heated to 161
degrees F (72 degrees C) for
not less than 16 seconds to
destroy disease carrying bac-
teria. When milk is homo-
genized, that means under
pressure, fat particles are
broken down so that the fat
is dispersed throughout the
milk and doesn't settle on the
top. Chocolate milk and choco-
late partially skimmed milk
(formerly called chocolate dairy
drink) may contain a stabilizer
to keep the chocolate dispersed
throughout the milk.
Q. What ingredients are used in
wieners and how nutritous are
they?
A. Except for wieners labelled
"all beef" the meat ingredi-
ents can include beef, mutton
and pork cuts. All of this meat
is government inspected for
wholesomeness. In addition,
government regulations allow
certain other protein sources,
i.e. liver, tripe, whole blood or
blood plasma. Regulated
amounts of meat binders such
as milk powder, wheat flour
are added as well as spices.
Sodium nitrite in extremely
small quantities is used as a
preservative, and is respon-
sible for the distinctive cured
flavour and colour. Wieners are
a low source of protein. The pro-
tein in wieners is about 11-
12% as compared to 17-18% in
sirloin steak. The quality of
protein in both meats is basical-
ly the same.'
Q. Would you recommend
raisins as a good nutritious
snack?

A. Raisins are a nutritious
snack and do provide a good
source of quick energy. How-
ever, they do have a draw-
back in the fact they are so
sticky. Some raisins are high
in sugar and tend to adhere to
the teeth and this could contri-
bute to dental cares. Perhaps a
more totally healthful snack
would be nuts, sunflower seeds
or fresh fruit.
Q. Can Soy Sauce be used on
a Salt -Restricted Diet?
A. No. Soy sauce contains more
than two grams of sodium,
equivalent to one teaspoon of
table salt in each fluid ounce
and should not be used on even
a mildly salt -restricted diet.
If you are looking for recipes
and cooking suggestions for
salt restricted diets, write to
the Department of Dietetic
Services, Ontario Hospital As-
sociation, 150 Ferrand Drive,
Don Mills, for their free book-
let of Restricted Sodium Rec-
ipes.
Q. What is the difference be-
tween fruit juice and fruit
drink?
A. Only products containing
fruit juice to which no water
has been added may be label-
led fruit juice. Products with
additonal water must be given
names such as fruit drink,
fruit punch or fruit ade, even
though they may contain some
fruit juice. Extra Vitamin C is
sometimes added to these pro-
ducts to improve their nutrition-
al value.
Since Vitamin C is more stable
in an acid substance, as with
fruit juice, it is easily destroyed
in the non-acid medium of fruit
flavoured drinks. To obtain full
Vitamine C value such drinks
should be consumed within a
day or two of the time they
are made up.
Q. I am on a low calorie re-
ducing diet and a friend re-
cently told me I could eat all
the mushrooms I want without
adding any calories. Is there
any food value in mushrooms?

contains only 40 calories so
they are low in calories. This
quantity provides 5 grams of'
protein, some Vitamin 13 and
small amounts of iron. If you
saute mushrooms the calorie
count increases. (A tablespoon
of butter or margarine adds
100 calories!)
Mushrooms provide variety and
enhance flavour—a very worth-
while addition to a low calorie
diet.

Q. Can people instinctively
choose a nutritions diet?
A. Unfortunately, no. For sever-
al years we thought that in-
fants would choose a well-
balanced diet instinctively, but
we now know that this is not
true. Our belief was based on
a study done in 1928, where
infants were offered a choice of
wholesome foods and freely
selected a nutritous diet. This
study was recently repeated,
offering a wide selection of
foods currently on the market
and not necessarily nutritious.
The study had to be stopped)
after a few weeks, because
some of the infants were be-
coming malnourished as a re-
sult of their "instinctive"
choices.
