Editor Journal of the Am | Medical Association and of H | geia, the Health Magazine, \ The banana has forced its way | out of the foods looked upon with | % | suspicion to the group that men dietary. For people in many tropical | countrles it is the chief source of carbohydrate or sugar in the diet. | This fruit is now abundant, easily | obtained and available at a miod- | erate cost. | Because of the skin that covers | it, the banana reaches the purchaser lin a clean condition. It is easily peeled and therefore readily eaten | under any circumstances. It re- | quires no cooking but it may be | preparcd in a number of ways to and variety to its taste. | _ A comparison made by the United States Department of Agriculture | shows that the banana has 75.3 per | cent of water as against 78.3 per cent for the potato, 1.3 per cent pro- | tein s against 2.2 per cent for the| | potato, 0.6 per cent fat as against | | 0-1 per cent, 22.0 per cent carbohy- | drate as against 18.4 per cent for the | | potato and 0.8 per cent mineral mat- | ter as against 1.0 per cent. The banana provides about 460 | calories as against 355 calories for | the potato. ~ The 460 calories per pound provided by the banana may be compared with 240 calories by | the apple, 240 for the orange, 570 for | | lima beans, 470 for green corn, 46 for green peas, 215 for beets, 210 for | arrots, 145 for cabbag spinach and 105 for asparagus. The banana does not interfere in any way with digestion if it is cat- [en ripe. | the green state may produce diges- | tive disturbances but the banana when ripe, or when cooked in the | unripe stage, is easily digested. | | " As most people now know, the | banana is picked green and when received in this country fs still sreen and hard. The starch in it s not broken down into sugars. | The fruit ripens and in the process {the change from starch to sugars |takes place. An indication of the ripening is the complete disappear- ance of the green from the pecl. Until the banana s fully ripe it should be kept at the room tem- perature and not in the ice chest. Cold will prevent ripening and the | development of the sweet flavor. | As to the vitamin content of the | banana recent investigations by E !dy of the Columbia University indi- | cate that the banana has about one- twentieth the value of pure butter for vitamin A, and is about equal to | green peas for this vitamin; for vita- {min B it is about equal to tomato | julce and mnearly to the best milk; | for ¢ it compares favorably with oranges and tomatoes. It is deficient | in vitamin D, the substance that | prevents rickets Menus for the Family | | Breakfast—Halves of grape fruit, | spinach with poached egg, on toast, | whole wheat muffins, milk, coffee. | Luncheon—Potato and onion pud- | ding, toasted muffins, pear and pea- nut butter salad, grape sponge, milk, ' tea. | Dinner—Hamburg roast, steamed jrice with tomato sauce, squash cro- quettes, celery and apple salad, roll- ed oats bread, date and nut pud- ding, milk, coffee.
