Strawberries supply nutrients
with only a few sweet calories
By Ellen Willis
Home Extension Agent
An excellent source of Vitamin
C, one cup of strawberries supplies
about 150<?o of the U.S. RDA for
the average adult. And they're a
good source of iron, too.
One cup of fresh, whole
strawberries supplies about S?7o of
the U.S. RDA for iron.
Especially nice to know ? a
whole cup of sweet juicy strawber
ries has only 55 calories.
Selecting and Storing
...Shop for fully ripened, bright
red strawberries. They do not ripen
after being picked.
...Choose berries that are plump
and well-rounded. Look for
natural shine, rich red color, bright
green, fresh looking caps.
...Use strawberries as soon as
possible. For highest nutritional
value, most delectable flavor and
loveliest appearance plan to use
your berries right away.
...Remove berries from con
tainer. Arranging the berries on a
flat tray or shallow container will
help preserve them for refrigera
tion where cool temperatures keep
them fresh and bright until you use
them.
...Don't wash or hull berries un
til just before using. Washing
removes a natural protective layer,
cap protects the berry's flavor and
texture.
Weights and Measures
Puzzled about how many
strawberries you'll get? Here are
Front Burner
some guidelines to most popular
packaging. (Remember 1 cup of
whole strawberries equals 1 fruit
serving).
1 Basket = 1 pint strawberries
1 Pint = about 3 1/2 cups whole
berries
1 Pint = about 2 1/2 cups sliced
berries
1 Pint = about 1 2/3 cups pureed
berries
1 Pint = from about 12 very large
berries to about 36 small berries.
For year-round use, whole frozen
berries, no sugar added are
available to 20 oz. bags in the
freezer case of your supermarket;
this will give you about 4 cups of
whole berries.

Elderly's drug use a concern
By Ron Ferrell

People over 65 use nearly three
times the number of prescription
drugs as those under that age, and

trol Center say there is a growing
concern over accidental misuse of
drugs by the elderly.
While children remain the
number one victims of accidental
drug misuse and poisoning in the
United States, the elderly are in
creasingly at risk.
"We are receiving an increasing
number of calls at the center about
elderly people who have taken the
wrong drug," said Dr. Shirley
Osterhout, director of the center.
Many older people do not
remember the names of the drugs
they are given. Drew said. They
may also be seeing several doctors
at one time, and if a patient cannot
tell the doctor or pharmacist what
drugs he is taking, then complica
tions can develop when additional
drugs are prescribed.
People who take a number of
drugs at one time need to be sure
what they are taking and when,
Drew said.
