a quotation from the food-service article, "Three Allies of Health and Economy? in the
February issue of the people's home jolrs'al. The author is c. Houston goudis.s
who is nationally famous as a writer and authority on food and health questions. He says
that prunes should he used with the same regularity as attends the potato and the meat dish.
Jiffy are setnt if the lush-li'lits in Dr. Gtudiss'
article. Every persm interested in health and dimes
tic eemtmies should read whatftlUws:
hen it comes toprunes and every well
regulated family should come to prunes
in some form at least once a day it is
"Wi
one of the most encouraging of present-day food
tacts that last year Californiahad to furnish nearly
a quarter of a billion pounds of these dried plums
to supply the demand.
"Within the past decade, notably within thr
past five years, prunes have made great forwatd
strides as a popular food. When Uncle Sam set
his seal of approval on them as one of the mod
v aluable foods that could be served to our tight
ins men a good mny people who previously had
passed them bv paused to proe their right to
uch preferment.
One trial sufficient
"One trial is sufficient, as a rule, for when
properlycoolted, stewed prunes constitute one of
the most delicious of dishes.
' 'AH things considered, the prune is one of the
most nutritious articles of diet ye have, forthry
contain large amounts of protein and easily di
gestible sugar. They are as well adapted to sub
ktantial dishes as to desserts, and the fact that
Mibstantia! dishes can be made from them is a
large point in their favor.
A triumphant food trinity
' 'They can be eaten in some form or other b v
rvry member of the family even babies find
them a welcome addition to their simple diet
Your grocer has them
when cooked soft and the, pulp ereshed--3pd
prunes are often included in special diets for in
valids. Because of their concentrated form thev
are easily kept.
"They constitute a really triumphant trinitv in
any consideration1 of food, whether weighed in
the balance of nutritive worth or economic value.
They supply health, strength and goodness in a
single package, so to' speak, and during the win
ter months they take the place of fresh fruit,
whose peculiar nutritive elements are so needed
by the body, but which are so often beyond the
reach of the average pocketbool.
"Eat more fruit"
"In ccry home where good food is rnjoved,
yet where eating is regarded as something more
than a mere pleasing of the palate, the date, the
fig and the prune deserve to be used with much
the same regularity as now attends the potato and
the meat dish. Their food value places them far
ahead of the former and gives them good right to
march in front of the latter in the great proces
sion of edible products. Until we have learned to
male larger use of them we shall be neglecting
a rare opportunity to pleasantly and economicallv
build up the best of all possessions a sound bod)
lit to house a sane mind.
"With the beginning of the New Year wrn
not put among your resolutions: 'Lat more
fruit,' 'Keep well through food,' 'Give more
thought to diet.' Any one of these slogans would
bring our attention to these excellent dried fruits
which provide larger nutrition at less cost than
the fresh, varieties, and especially is this true when
supplies run low in the wintertime." ....
The riht way to stew prunes
There's ail the taste-difference in the world in
prunes when they're properly prepared.' And it'
just as easy to prepare them rizhu Perhaps you
have a pet way of stewing prunes. But if you
haven't and even if you have try this tested
method:
lirst soak them over night, if possible but
if not, for several hours at least. Second cook
themjWy until tender it the water in which
they were soaked. Third use plenty of water so
the fruit will be"oosc."rourthbesureyou don't
cook them too long as they will become too soft.
Flavor with an inch stick of cinnamon orsome
lemon or orange juicr. Sugar is not required, as
slow cooking brings out the rich fruit sugar in
Sunswect Prunes. If sugar added, however, put
it in aflrrihc prunes arccooled but while still hot
so the sugar will dissolv e.
