How About Corned Beef?
Dear Aant Daisy, We are very fond of corned beef in our family, but I understand that it has lost its food-value by being "corned," Is this so? Surely so popular an article of food cannot be useless. — Country Mother. As a matter of fact, corned beef has lost a good deal of the food value of fresh beet, because the B-vitamins and the inerals in meat are soluble in water, and so most of them are lost during the soaking of the meat in the briny mixture. However, some meat has to bé corned in order to preserve it; and people enjoy it for a change. So make up for the loss by eating cabbage with it (cooked, or rather steamed, in very little water, and not too long), carrots and jacket-potatoes;) or better still, an uncooked salad of green and yellow vegetables.
