Breakfast Starts Day Right Measure
2 Vegetables y By Half Cup
New brides make many errors in estimating the amount of vegetables to cook for a given num{ber of servings, Buy according to measure by using the Agriculture Department’s meal planning and market list. Half a cup makes an average serving of almost any vegetable, Servings from a pound of a fresh vegetable may range all the way from two to eight half-cups, because of pods or other waste and because some foods shrink more in cooking. Below are listed the number of servings ordinarily obtained from one pound of some familiar fresh {vegetables in the pod, husk or
consistency of biscuit dough.
