Summer Fruits

pursuits. A diet that provides vari
ety and balance of nutrients is
essential to good health. Summer
fruits with a variety of other foods
eaten in moderation are beneficial
to healthy lifestyles. For many
Americans, a decrease in the per
centage of calories obtained from
fats, proteins and refined sugar
and an increase from complex car
bohydrates and natural sugars are
healthy dietary recommendations.
Summer fruits are virtually
sodium and fat free, contain little
protein and prqvide almost 100%
of their calories from carbohy

sugar) and diefary fiber.
No one food supplies all the
essential nutrients. Fresh fruits are
sources of vitamins A, C complex
and C. They also contain numer
ous minerals, including potas
sium, and are excellent sources of
dietary fiber and water.
Consumption of foods in mod
eration and physical activity are
important in the maintenance of
desirable body weight Fresh sum
mer fruits are low in calories and
are appropriate choices in weight
reduction and maintenance diets.
For fewer calories, their dietary
fiber content helps create a feeling
of fullness.

Dietary fiber, the term used for
a group of nondigestible complex
carbohydrates and lignin, helps
maintain a healthy digestive tract
and decreases the risk of several
bowel diseases. Other possible
benefits of certain dietary fiber are
a decrease in elevated blood glu
cose levels, lower serum choles
terol levels and a decreased risk of
developing colon cancer.
Fiber is found only in plant
sources, such as fruits, vegetables,
legumes and whole grains. Fresh
summer fruits are excellent sour
ces of dietary fiber.
Fat is the most concentrated
source of energy (calories), pro
viding more than twice the num
ber of calories found in carbohy
drates and protein. Many Ameri
cans are decreasing their fat intake
due to the increased risk of cardio
vascular and other diseases. Fresh
summer fruits are virtually fat free
(less than 1 gram of fat per
medium fruit), and are recom
mended for low fat and low
cholesterol diets.
Water is an essential nutrient in
life. Consumption of approxi
mately eight glasses of water daily
is important in replacing body
fluid losses and for the mainte

Good Canning Techniques
Protect Rangetop
Are you planning to can some
of this summer’s fresh crop of
fruits and vegetables? If so, heed
this advice to help protect yourself
and the top of your kitchen range.
Use flat-bottomed canners.
Ridged bottoms make poor con
tact with electric surface units,
causing elements to severely
overheat.'
Use a canner that fits the sur
face unit, with little overhang.
Oversized canners trap heat, and
that can damage the cooktop.

Never balance a large canner
over two surface units.
Start with hot tap water and
bring to a boil. Keep burner con
trols at the lowest setting needed
to maintain boiling.
Keep reflector bowls clean for
best heat reflection.
Can small batches to keep the
weight of the canner to one that is
easy to handle by you and the sur
face unit
Keep canning sessions to a rea
sonable time. Canning for eight
hours in a row is hard on the cook
and the cooktop. Alternate use of
your surface units.
Never can on glasstop surface
units. They are not designed for
canning and may be damaged in
the process.
