FACTS ABOUT FRESHNESS

FQESH VEGETABLES are important in your family's diet. They supply minerals, protein, vitamins—all vital to good health, growth and energy. But up to 65% of the vitamin C content of "fresh" Wgfifables can be last before you serve them! Much of the Vitamin Bl in green, leafy vegetables goes

down drain” in home cooking; mineral content is wasted in the same way. "Freshness" means that vegetables are as close as possible to their natural growing state, in flavour. texture and nutrition value. So "fresh" vegetables, b?! this time they reach your table, may not be really " rose 1'' nt all.
