FRUITS TO COMPLETE THE MEAL
The dietetic value of fruits lies in the fruit sugar, mineral salts,
and organic acids which they contain. Fruits are body regulators.
Fruit sugar or carbohydrates are the chief sources of fuel value in
fruit. Most fruits also contain the substance which is necessary for
jelly making. A fruit which does not contain pectin, such as pears and
pineapple, must be combined with some fruit containing pectin. Apples,
grapes, and currants contain great quantities of pectin.
Fresh fruit eaten the first thing in the morning acts as a cleanser.
Care must be taken in the selection of fruit, it should be ripe, but
not overripe. If overripe, it is liable to cause fermentation in the
alimentary tract.
Science has perfected the drying process to such a degree that dried
fruit has become a great convenience when the fresh product is not
obtainable.
Because it is impossible to wholly consume all fruits at the harvesting
time, great quantities are canned for later consumption. To retain the
highest natural flavor and full fruit sugar value, it is necessary to
can fruits and vegetables just as they ripen and immediately after
picking. Commercial canning of fruits has reached such a high degree
of excellence that the average home manager prefers to buy a reliable
brand she knows to be uniform, rather than run the risk of having
fruits spoil that she uses her own time and material to “put up.”
The wide variety of fruits on the market under reliable brand names
makes it possible to serve practically any fruit at any season. Even
the special types of fruits may be purchased canned, as Royal Anne
Cherries, Muscat Grapes, Bartlett Pears, Egg Plums, etc.
