VALUE OF NUTS IN THE DIET 
Nuts are gaining in importance each year as a staple in the diet of 
manv people because we are becoming more conscious of the mineral values 
of foods. Nuts are ready to eat as they come from the shell and cannot be 
improved upon by methods of cooking. Nuts are really a food although 
many use them as a confection. I believe as time marches on that nuts 
will become more important in the diet and will eventually replace some of 
the proteins we are now using largely. Without doubt nuts are small, 
tightly sealed packages containing highly concentrated pellets of mineral 
nutrition direct from Mother Earth. Dr. John Harvey Kellogg of Battle 
Creek, Michigan in an article in the seventh annual report of the N. N. G. A. 
wrote as follows: “In nutritive value the nut far exceeds all other food 
substances; for example, the average number of food units per pound fur¬ 
nished by half a dozen of the more common varieties of nuts is 3231 calories, 
while the average of the same number of varieties of cereals is 1654 calories, 
half the value of nuts. The average food value of the best vegetables is 
300 calories per pound and of the best fresh fruits grown in this country 
is 278 calories. The average food value of the six principal flesh foods is 
810 calories per pound, or one-fourth that of nuts.” 
OUR METHOD OF PACKING is superior to that generally used in 
packing nursery stock and insures the delivery of trees in good condition 
to distant points. We have received many complimentary letters on the 
condition of the trees on arrival.
