Vegetables and fruits 



are Nutritional and Protective Foods 



None can compare with those grown and picked tresh from your own garden. 

 They are our principal sources of vitamins that are so essential to growth in chil- 

 dren and good health and vigor at all ages. The vitamin source of meat and 

 dairy products is also obtained from the vegetation consumed by the animals. 



NUTRITIVE FOOD VALUES OF THE 

 POPULAR VEGETABLES AND FRUITS 



The word vegetable is derived from the Latin "vegetablis" which means enliven- 

 ing or animating. The enlivening effect of both vegetables and fruits to the human 

 system is generally recognized. Doctors frequently warn us against eating too 

 much meat or too much sweets or too much of this or that, but rarely if ever, warn 

 us against eating too many vegetables. Great emphasis is placed by those in charge 

 of the diet of our armed forces upon the feeding of plenty of vegetables and fruits 

 to our soldiers. 



The following chart prepared by the N. Y. State College of Home Economics, 

 shows the approximate nutritive food values of the popular vegetables and fruits. 

 It will be noted that the vitamin content is very high when compared with other 

 foods.
