Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Luscious Strawberry
Fruit is no longer regarded as a luxury, but rather as a necessary article of food on our tables, and the intelligent housekeeper knows that nothing contributes so largely to the health of the family as a generous diet of fruit in its different varieties throughout the season.
Good ripe fruit contains a large amount of sugar, which forms in itself a light, nourishing food, and is equally valuable as an aid to the digestion of other food. Strawberries contain about eight per cent of sugar, three per cent of pectin, and one per cent of acids, one per cent of ?esh forming albuminoids, with a very large per cent of water.
