NEW BULLETIN
FEATURES SPUBS
News from the local Extension
Service office this week include
the notice that Bulletin F-10,
Favorite Recipes for Potatoes, is
available at the Palmer office.
Prepared by Lydia Fohn-Han
sen, home demonstration leader
at the University of Alaska, the
bulletin offers a buying guide,
U. S. grades and specifications,
suggestions for winter storage
and a forword by Mrs. Fohn
Hansen which is printed below:
ALASKANS ARE LUCKY
People of the world depend on
two main types of food for the
bulk of hte diet; one is cereals
(com, wheat, and rice) and the
•other starchy vegetables.
Cereal-eating peoples are sub
ject to severe dietary deficiencies.
Where rice and corn are the main
food, pellagra, beri-beri, and
scurvy are prevalent. The potato
eating people escape these dis
eases because vegetables are gen
erally more nutiritous than pol
ished and processed devitaminiz
ed cereal foods.
Potatoes are especially rich in
vitamin C or ascorbic acid, which
prevents scurvy, a disease which
almost disapepared from Europe
after potatoes were introduced.
Potatoes also have more iron
than rice, com, or white bread,
• and so help prevent dietary ane
mia.
The protein in potatoes is equal
to the protein in a slice of bread
•or a third of a cup of milk. To
supplement the protein in pota
toes, serve them with protein
foods such as meat, milk, or
cheese.
A medium-sized potato has the
same energy value (carbohydra
tes) or fattening value as an or
ange, an apple, a thick slice of
bread, 5/8 cup of milk, or twd
pats of butter. Because it is rich
in minerals and vitamins, it is in
cluded in reducing and diabetic
diets, and can safely be included
once or twice a day in a normal
diet.
Other advantages could be
mentioned; the ease of cooking,
the great variety of uses and
recipes, the bland flavor, and the
keping quality. In addition, pota
toes grow well in Alaska and are
less expensive than other foods
•of comparable value.
