Excerpt from Some Fruits of Hawaii: Their Composition, Nutritive Value and Use The diet of many people in Hawaii is unsatisfactory and should be improved by the addition of fruits, vegetables and milk. With the opportunity of purchasing fruits at low cost and the possibility of rais ing them in home gardens, greater use should be made of local fruits by all economic classes in Hawaii. Analyses of local fruits show them to be similar in composition to the same varieties of fruits grown elsewhere. The food value of some fruits is greater than that of others but attention should be called to the high nutritive value of some of our most important, widely grown and generally available fruits - namely, the avocado, the banana, the papaya, the pineapple and the guava. It is hoped that this bulletin may stimulate the greater use of these excellent fruits. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
