8 Who am I? Most of the nutrients reside just below the skin
With the skin this vegetable is a good source of fiber This vegetable first appeared in North America in 1719 “Late Blight” was the principle cause of the Irish ___ Famine, which killed a half million people

9 1) TUBERS Ex: Potatoes Grown in over 100 countries and in all 50 states The average American eats 140lbs. of potatoes each year including over 50lbs. of French fries Each french fry contains 1 gram of fat!!

10 What’s the difference between sweet potato and a Yam?
Orange-fleshed Sweet potatoes have a rich, sweet flavor; a smooth skin Yams are particularly bland, starchy vegetables that are best used as a background for more flavorful accompaniments. skin of yams is rough and somewhat shaggy.

11 2) Bulbs Bulbs Chives Onions Garlic Leeks Shallots

12 Why not put onions and potatoes together?
Onions and potatoes can be stored together if they are used within a few days. To keep potatoes and onions fresh after months of storage, they must be stored separately. When stored together they emit a gas that causes both to spoil. Different types of potatoes and onions have different storage requirements.

13 How do keep from crying when cutting onions?
put the onion under water, then chop it (water absorbs the onion's gas) put lime juice on the knife blade before chopping (the acid of the lime reacts with the gas of the onion) chill the onion before cutting it (chilling changes the chemical compound in the onion which causes it to release less gas) chew gum or eat sugar cubes (this causes you to breathe through your mouth, inhibiting the amount of gas that gets into your nose)

14 3) Roots Beets Parsnips Turnips Carrots Radish Rutabaga

32 Vegetable Flavors Strong Mild Cabbage Brussel sprouts Turnips
Cauliflower Onions Mild Most of the vegetables

33 Forms of Vegetables Fresh Canned Frozen Dried
More nutritious, crisp, firm, color Canned More water, cooked at processing time, graded by government Frozen Dried Soak before cooking

34 Principles of Cookery Goal: to retain color, flavor, nutrient, and texture of vegetable Cellulose structure softens, and less crisp Starch absorbs water, swells, and becomes more soluble Water-soluble vitamins (B and C) Also minerals Fat-soluble vitamins (K, A, D, E)

35 Principles of Cookery Amount of water Length of cooking time
Loss of nutrients is reduced when cooked in small amounts of water Cover pan to prevent both scorching and loss of water due to evaporation Length of cooking time Vitamins are destroyed by heat and overcooking Cook only until fork tender and still slightly crisp Overcooking dulls the bright colors, vegetables lose their texture and shape becoming mushy

36 Methods of Cookery Boil Baked Panned Boil small amount of water
Add vegetables, return to boil Cover pan, reduce heat to a simmer Baked Wash and place on oven rack Panned Stir-fry, braise (fat, low heat)

37 Methods of Cookery Steam
Water in bottom of pan, basket to hold food, cook over boiling water Fried Pan, deep fry, batter/crumbs Pressure cook Quick, good flavor, color Broil Tomato, eggplant Microwave Retain color, flavor, texture, and nutrients

38 Care and Storage Refrigerate most Tubers and root vegetables
Store in cool, dry, dark place Canned vegetables On shelf at room temperature, use within a year Frozen Use immediately when thawed

39 Nutrients Water content Starch Fruits Stems Flowers leaves Tubers
Bulbs Roots Seeds

40 Vitamins Chlorophyll Vitamin A (eyes) Vitamin C Vitamin B
Green substance of plant cells that gives their green color Vitamin A (eyes) Leafy green and deep yellow contain carotene which converts to vitamin A Vitamin C Most vegetables contain vitamin C, broccoli, green peppers, tomatoes, cabbage Vitamin B Lima beans and peas

41 Other Nutrients Minerals Carbohydrates Proteins Calcium Iron Cellulose
