W %‘z,
Now that the fall season is only
around the corner, let’s discuss
the nutritional value ot nuts,
which are good for us, easy to
prepare and inexpensive. One
pound of nuts is equal in calories
to 2.3 pounds of bread, 3.7 pounds
of steak, 12.3 pounds of potatoes
or 15 pounds of oranges. One
pound of oily nuts supplies all
the calories needed for the day
plus 40 percent of the protein, 60
percent of the phosphorus,’ 30
percent of the calcium and iron
and four times the daily require
ment of fat. Speaking generally,
nuts are defined as hard-shelled
seeds enclosing a single edible
oily kernel. If we want to be
technical about it, we will find
that nuts are classified biologi
cally as one-seeded fruits, such as
beechnut, chestnut and so forth.
But we have come to things of a
lot of different products as nuts,
including such varied edibles as
cashews, peanuts, coconuts and so
on. Most of these are high in
protein and fat and low in car
bohydrate. Some nuts contain as
much as 60 percent fat. Some
kind of pecans contain as much as
76 percent fat. They are high in
protein as well as fat, which
means that they do a good job of
helping to regulate blood sugar,
which is so important to good
health. In general, nuts are high
in minerals and have peculiar
affinities for certain kinds of
minerals. The brazil nut contains
much barium, another trace min
eral. Most nuts contain a good
supply of vitamin A and thiamin,
one of the B vitamins. Some of ।
them contain vitamin E. Imma
ture English Walnuts have been
found to contain large ^mounts
of vitamin C, which disappears as
the nuts ripen. The walnut hulls ;
are an excellent source of vita- j
min C containing as high as 1550- I
3036 milligrams of this vitamin |
for every hundred grams. Os:
course we can’t eat the walnut |
hulls, but in some parts of the j
world, we understand, efforts are I
being made to extract the vita-1
mm C from these hulls. The red
skin of the peanut contains con
siderable thiamin, incidentally, so
don t throw it away when you
eat peanuts. Nuts are not com
plete proteins, even though their
protein content is high. We mean
I all n h / S th that they do not conta m
I an of the amino acids, or kinds
of protein essential for human
| health. Only foods of animal ori
gin contain all these amino acids
the y do not occur in any one
' egetable food except soy-beans.
But, even so, nuts are a most im
portant food if we wan? to m
imosTof° Ur ^ Qtein intake - “ d
' SL? US ° UId ’ The foods of
animal origin that are high in
i protein such as meats and eggs
। have an acid reaction in the body
| whereas most nuts have an alka
hne reaction. Filberts, peanuts
and walnuts are acid. All others
are alkaline in their effect S j
body. They are highly conCen
h ated food. Nuts, .hVotSX
tural products, should be eaten

possible. But we civilized twen

prove our superiority by process
ing nuts until we finally almost
destroy their food value. Cook
ing the nuts in oil causes consid
erable loss of vitamin contents.
We are told that in an experiment
macadamia nuts were cooked in
oil at 135 degrees centigrade for
only 12 to 15 minutes and lost
16 percent of the thiamin. Modern
commercial methods of process
ing nuts bring about destruction
of cca 70 to 80 percent of the
thiamin. So what can. we do to
secure nuts whose food value has
not been ruined before we get 1
them? First of all, never buy nuts [
that have been shelled or roast- j
ed. Buy them in the shells and
shell them yourself. And then, ;
don’t roast all the goodness out
of them before they are eaten.
If one has ever tasted an almond
right out of the shell, one will
agree that there is absolutely no
excuse for roasting them. The
Southern European and Mediter
ranean countries are the world's
largest producers of nuts. Brazil
nuts are grown in Brazil and
Bolivia. Cashews come from India
and Mozambique. United States

lish (sometimes called Persian)

see that we do not begin to appre

In spite of the fact that they

ARE YOU
in the Market for a Church?
That sounds dreadfully commercial, doesn’t it?
But the truth of the matter is that literally thou
sands of persons the world over are ''shopping” for a
church which fits their needs,
w
That’s one reason why the Episcopal Church is
growing so rapidly. It’s not a case of a Church which
is cut to fit a new pattern. Rather, the Episcopal
Church adheres to the faith and practice of the
ancient Church.
If there is a return to that "old time religion,”
that return is logically to the Episcopal Church.
Why? Because the Christian faith as expounded and
practiced in the Episcopal Church IS the "faith of
our fathers”, not just the fathers of the last few
hundred years, but the faith of the Apostles.
Interested? Perhaps you don’t agree. Here’s a
suggestion. Visit the Episcopal Church near you soon.
Discuss it with the rector. He’ll be happy to visit
with you.
