Show Nutritive Value of meats. ' The cheapest food is that wiieh sup- ' plies the most nutriment for the least money, says a writer in the "Hygienic Gazette." The well known maxim that "the best is the cheapest" is not true of foods, for the term "best" in this connection is ordinarily applied to that which has the finest appearance, the finest flavor, most tender structure, etc. Thus, there is no more nutriment in a pound of proteid from tenderloin steak than in the same weight of proteid from the neck or shoulder, and yet note the great difference in cost. A great deal of money is spent by people who car ill afford it because of this notion that the more expensive cuts are the more 1 nutritious, much of it perhaps attrib- utable to lack of knowledge of the art of cookery. |
