Presentation transcript:

Nutrition Fruits are 75 – 95% water Low in fat, sodium and protein Excellent source of fiber (especially the skins!) Vitamins & Minerals Fruits Provide: Vitamin C (Citrus, melons, strawberries) Vitamin A (Deep yellow and green fruits) Potassium (Bananas, raisins, figs)

Choose whole or cut up fruits more often than fruit juice. Air, heat and water can destroy nutrients in both fruits and vegetables. Always wash fruits and vegetables to remove pesticides that might remain on the skin. Nutrition

Guidelines for Selecting Fruits and Vegetables Firm Crisp Smooth Dense Free From Bruises Good Color Good Smell In Season (Will Be Cheaper)

Purchasing and Storing Fruits Purchasing Most fruits are sold by weight or by count Fruits are packed in crates, bushels, cases, lugs, or flats Seasonal fruits and vegetables are lower in cost, plentiful and have better quality. They will last about one week in the refrigerator. Store Fruits In: Cold (Refrigerator) Dry Give Them Space

Ripening Ripening happens when starches found in the fruit break down into sugar (Bananas in the fridge) This leads to deterioration or spoilage: Color Lightens Texture Softens Decreases in Acidity Increases in Sweetness

Browning Browning occurs when the cut surfaces of food reacts with oxygen. This is called OXIDATION. To prevent this, cover cut fruits with a liquid containing Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C).

VEGETABLES

Nutrition Vegetables provide the following Vitamins and Minerals: Vitamin A Vitamin C Vitamin D Potassium Folic Acid Calcium Magnesium

Nutrition Vegetables contain NO cholesterol They are low in calories, fat and sodium (They are “Nutrient Dense”) Eat more red, orange and dark green vegetables from the Vegetable Group.

Best Cooking Methods for Preserving Nutrients The two BEST methods are: Microwaving Steaming You can also: Bake Stir-Fry Simmer Sauté Or just eat them raw

Five Ways to Preserve Nutrients When Cooking Fruits and Vegetables Cook in larger pieces Use small amounts of water Cook only until “fork” tender Cook quickly Save the water used to cook in for soups and gravies (most nutrients dissolve into the water)

Farm to Table Farm to Table Food doesn’t start at the supermarket! Farm: use of good agricultural practices Processing: monitor at critical points Transportation: use clean vehicles and maintain the cold chain Retail: follow the food code guidelines Table: always follow the four C’s of safety- clean, cook, control cross-contamination and chill
