I Extension Agent * Nutrition Tips For Food Shopping Most food shopping tips are de signed to help you save money at the supermaricet; today’s tips are aimed at helping you get more nu tritious food for your dollar. Using the Food Guide Pyramid, let’s tour your local food stores. Starting at the base of the pyra mid with the grain group, let’s ex plore different breads. Nutrition experts recommend we get more fiber by using whole grain pro ducts such as bread. Purchasing whole grain breads is confusing since not all brown bread is made from whole grains. You have to read the ingredients label to deter mine the grain content and often brown breads will list "enriched wheat flour” or “unbleached flour” or "bromated flour”; all of the above are names for regular white flour. Whole wheat flottr or whole grain flour will be listed as the first ingredient on whole wheat bread. You should also check the fiber content on the la bel. Whole wheat bread usually provides two grams of fiber per serving. Some white breads in crease their fiber content by * INC Independent Distributor TM NEW HIGH „ A// . $1 .00-A-Day .

Some “lite” breads list the serving size as three slices and the fiber content as I.S grams and this translates to .5 grams per slice. Next in the grain group are cer eals, and the choices are numer ous. Choose the enriched or whole grain cereals for the most nutri tion. Parents often ask about sug ared cereals, these generally cost more than the nonsugared variety. Research shows that children eat ing sugared cereals and adding their own sugar use more sugar than is included in the sweetened variety. A trick for parents. j$ to purchase both the sugared and nonsugared varieties of a cereal and mix them in a container. This way your child will have a con trolled amount of sugar that is less than the sweetened variety. The size you buy should be determined by the amount your family will use in a timely fashion. (Buying the economy size just because it costs less per ounce only saves you money if you can use all of the cereal.)

You can use these small amounts of cereal to mix with popcorn and other small snack foods to make snack bags for after school treats. Fruits and vegetables comprise the next level of the food pyramid. The most nutritious products may not be in the fresh produce depart ment. Fresh fruits and vegetables start to lose nutrients as soon as they are harvested. If your super market doesn’t have a fast turn over in the fresh produce depart ment, the frozen fruits and vege tables will be more nutritious. Also, if you keep fresh produce for a week to 10 days after pur chasing it. it would be more nutri tious to purchase the frozen varie ty. To have really nutritious fruits and vegetables: you can raise your own so you can pick and cat in the same day. Another alternative is to pick produce at a “pick your own farm” or buy from a farmer’s mar ket or roadside stand that sells on ly today’s harvest. The third level of the food pyra mid is composed of the Milk and Meat groups. Dairy products con tribute lots of nutrients to our diets but they also contribute to our dai ly fat allowance. Choosing skimmed or 1% milk will lower the fat content while retaining the vitamins and calcium levels. Yo gurts are another good choice in this group. The plain, nonfat or low-fat are the best choices. Yo gurts with fruit and other add-ins limit the calcium content and in crease the sugar. It would be belter to purchase plain yogurt and add your fruit combinations.
