Practical Family Living—
Buying Commercially
Processed Vegetables
By NELLE THRASH
Food Preservationist
So many days and so many meals
pose the question, “What shall we
have to eat?” And every home looks
for special answers that will fit its
particular food tastes and conveniece,
Home meals are bound to be differ
ent. We want them that way.
Canned and frozen vegetables offer
you many advantages in helping feed
the family an adequate diet. They are
convenignt, economical, nutritious,
clean and wholesome, They are ready
any time and offer a wide choice of
variety. They are easy to buy, fine in
{lavor and available all seasons.
Under quality control laboratores,
the quality of the raw product, pro
cessing methods and storage are care
fully controlled. In most instances, a
high quality product leaves the plant.
To keep this high quality, care must
be taken in selecting, handling and
using commercially processed foods.
Here are a few suggestions to help
you spend the food dollar more wise
ly by applying certain food technology
principles developed by research.
The Federal Food, Drug and Cos
metic Act requires certain information
on the labels of all canned foods. They
also have set up “standards of iden
tity” for many canned foods. The Na
tional Canners Association has de
veloped a standardized descriptive
labeling program easily understood.
A wide variety in can sizes has been
developed for the convenience of
shoppers. For people who make label
reading a habit and become familiar
with the information on canned food
labels, food buying is easier and
thriftier.,
All canned foods should be stored
in a cool, dark, dry place to preserve
the quality and nutrients.
In frozen vegetables, the proper
iemperatures, correct care and opera
tion of freezing and holding com
partments, and the effects of time and
temperature on quality are critical
factors in getting the most in value,
eating quality and satisfaction.
For example, if a package of fmzen‘
peas or beans is held at 30 degrees F.
for five days the quality will break
down, If they are held at zero degrees
F. there is no quality breakdown for
12 months.
Check to see if the store where you
buy frozen vegetables follows these
procedures: (1) the products are kep
under proper refrigeration from the
processing plant to the store display
cabinet; (2) frozen food display cabi
nets have an easy-to-read tempera
ture indicator so you can see that
foods are being held at zero de
grees; (3) frozen foods are kep. below
the “fill” line in the cabinet, and (4)
damaged or torn packages are kept
out of the display cabinet.
Frozen vegetables should be the
last item purchased before going to
the check out stand. Put ihe products
in an insulated bag or double paper
bag. Take them home quickly and
place in refrigerated storage.
If you have a refrigerator ice cube
compartment, the food should be used
within a week, In an across-the-top
freezer compartment in the refrigera
tor, the food may be held up to three
months. A food freezer or a combina
tion refrigerator-freezer enables you
to keep frozen vegetables up to 12
months.
Use the food freezer as a checking
account—not a savings account. For
best results, following directions on a
package for thawing, cooking and
serving,
