What’s In A Vegetable
Vitamins come in tablets and capsules.
But the most appetizing “packaging" for vita
mins is vegetables. A kernel of corn, a string
bean, a carrot nugget or a greenpea are all
“containers” of some of our most important
vitamins.
A, B and C are the vitamins most abun
dant in vegetables Vitamin A keeps eyes in
good condition and helps give a healthy skin.
The several vitamins within the B gioup
help control our body-regulating processes.
Vitamin C builds blood cells and generally
helps keep our bodies healthy

sugar, starch and cellulose.
Corn, carrots and potatoes
are rich in carbohydrates
