by Janet Spencer The word “vegetable” comes from the Latin “vegetabilis” meaning growing and flourishing. To grow and flourish, eat your vegetables while digesting these vegetable facts! IS IT A FRUIT OR A VEGGIE? • A fruit is the mature ovary of a flower which contains a seed. A vegetable is any part of a plant which is not an ovary, such as a root, tuber, stem, or leaf. That means that tomatoes, cucumbers, squashes, melons, peapods, avocado, and peppers are all fruits, not vegetables. If it’s got seeds in it, it’s a fruit. Even grains such as rice, wheat, and corn are technically fruits. Nuts are a fruit, too. It’s only our culture that has deemed anything sweet a fruit and anything not sweet a vegetable. • Many plants surround their seeds with a sweet flesh in order to encourage animals to eat it, thereby spreading the seeds. But plants need to hold onto their roots, leaves, and stems to survive, so there’s no reason to make those parts taste especially good. • Potatoes are the most popular vegetable in the U.S., followed by tomatoes (actually a fruit; see next page) and iceberg lettuce. • Most Americans eat one or two serving of fruits and veggies per day, whereas the recommended amount is five to six per day.

• As the ripened ovary of a seed plant, the tomato is technically a fruit. The Tariff Act of 1883 levied a 10% tax on vegetables being imported while fruits entered the country duty-free. The Port Authority of New York classified tomatoes as vegetables which should be taxed, while a fruit importer argued that tomatoes were fruits, which were not taxed. The case went all the way to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court declared that although tomatoes are botanically a fruit, they are more commonly used as a vegetable and should be considered a vegetable by law. The tax remained. • Sweet potatoes are a member of the morning glory family, a vine. Potatoes are a member of the nightshade family, which is not a vine. Yams are from an African tropical vine that isn’t related to either the sweet potato or the potato but is related to lilies and grasses. Sweet potatoes have orange, red, or yellow skin and pale yellow flesh. True yams have a black or brown skin that looks like bark, and either white, purple, or red flesh.

VICTORIES FOR VETERANS Bobby Body

“MY VICTORY WAS OVERCOMING A DISABILITY.”

• It’s true that a vitamin A deficiency can cause blindness and that carrots contain vitamin A. But eating carrots won’t even begin to affect your eyesight unless your eyesight is bad specifically because of a vitamin A deficiency. Actually, carrots don’t exactly contain vitamin A; they contain carotene, which the liver converts to vitamin A. By the way: Carotene is the chemical which makes carrots orange. If you ingest enough carotene, it will turn your skin a yellow-orange color. Are baby carrots really babies? No, they are really just a thinstalked variety that is then cut into baby shapes. The first carrots that were grown, native to Afghanistan, were purple in color. Orange carrots later originated in Holland.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● If you’re like the average 75-year-old American man, you’ve spent a total of 37.5 days in the act of shaving. ● In ancient Egypt, there was a ban on the export of cats, which, by the law of supply and demand, increased the value of the pets in the rest of the known world. This situation was an irresistible invitation to smugglers, of course; once Phoenician sailors managed to surreptitiously bring some felines to buyers around the Mediterranean, breeders took over and ruined the business. ● The vast nation of Canada got its name from the Iroquois word “Kanata,” which means “village.” (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

• Onions make you cry because they are full of sulfuric chemicals, which irritate your tear ducts. Sulfur is the same gas which is produced by volcanoes when they erupt. • Yam comes from the African word “njam” meaning “to eat.” • The old French word “caboche” meaning “head” gave us our head of cabbage. Cabbage is one of the most nutritious vegetables, high in anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds. • Corn is a member of the grass family. Each ear has an average of 800 kernels. • Cool as a cucumber? The inside of a cucumber can be 20 degrees cooler than the outside of a cucumber. • Asparagus spears can grow an inch a day in warm weather. •California grows 90% of the U.S. avocado crop. • Ripe red bell peppers contain twice as much vitamin C by weight as citrus fruits. • A single tomato plant was once documented to have produced 16,897 tomatoes. • The original eggplant had a small white fruit that looked like an egg. The large purple eggplants are in the same family and bear the same name. • The average American eats about 126 lbs. of potatoes annually. • Romaine lettuce has more nutrients than any other kind of lettuce. The darker the leaf, the more nutritious the lettuce. • Coconut is actually a fruit. • Before the days of refrigerated trucks, loads of lettuce would be heaped with mounds of ice to preserve them while being shipped, hence the name “iceberg” lettuce.

• Sweet potatoes have more vitamin A than any other vegetable. The cantaloupe is higher in vitamin A than any other fruit. • In the 1960s at Chicago’s Ambassador East Hotel, a major bash was held, during which one of the local celebrities was served a Bloody Mary with no swizzle stick to stir it with. He grabbed a celery stick from a vegetable tray and used that to stir his drink instead, leading to a new fad. • Jello introduced a new line of flavors intended for salads: mixed vegetable, tomato, and celery. No one bought. • It would take over 300 celery sticks to equal the average human’s daily ration of calories. • Artichokes are one of the oldest foods known to humans. Marilyn Monroe was the first official California Artichoke Queen in 1947. • Dietary fiber found in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables is not found in animal products.

• In the 1930s a scientist studying the mineral properties of spinach accidentally misplaced a decimal point, leading researchers to believe that there was ten times as much iron in spinach as there actually is. The myth that spinach is extraordinarily high in iron still survives. Spinach has iron, but many foods, including soy beans, peas, beets, lima beans, lentils, liver, molasses, oysters, apricots, walnuts, and sunflower seeds have more. In order to get your requirement of iron from spinach alone, you’d have to eat twice your body weight of the stuff yearly. This would be a bad idea because spinach also contains oxalic acid, and ingesting that much oxalic acid could cause kidney stones. Boiling spinach will reduce the level of oxalic acid. Still, when Popeye started eating spinach, sales soared.

Continued physical function equates to continued independent living, so this study needs a close look. A portion of the Nurses’ Health Study looked at diet patterns of 54,762 women and compared their health to the Alternative Healthy Eating Index, checking in with them every four years between 1992 and 2008.

An avocado has about 300 calories and 30 grams of fat, making it 22% fat. A banana has only 0.6 grams of fat. • Olives are another fatty fruit. Ten black olives have about 50 calories and 4 grams of fat. • Oranges will not ripen after being picked, but lemons will. • True cantaloupes only grow in Europe. The American version is actually a muskmelon. Same family, same genus, different species. Cantaloupe were named after the town which was named after the Cantaluppi Castle in Italy. Cantaloupes are rarely exported and very difficult to find in the U.S. • The most popular berry in the U.S. is the strawberry. Blueberry comes in second. • Cranberries only grow in swampy bogs. Some cranberry beds will produce fruit for more than a century. • Every raspberry is really a conglomeration of hundreds of tiny individual fruits, each one containing a seed. • Blueberries contain more antioxidants per serving than any other fruit or vegetable, according to the USDA. More blueberries are grown in the state of Maine than anywhere else in the world. Blueberries are one of the few foods that are naturally blue in color. • Grapes are one of the oldest cultivated fruits and there are more varieties of grape produced in the world than any other fruit. • Until the mid-1800s the most popular, cheapest, and most widely available beverage (besides water) was apple cider. • Today the most popular juice is orange juice. • Strawberries are a member of the rose family. Americans eat about five pounds per year on average. • The only fruit with green flesh? Kiwi fruit. • Nectarines are a member of the rose family. Only one gene separates a nectarine from a peach: the fuzziness gene. • One type of Mexican papaya can weigh up to ten pounds. • Watermelon flesh is 97% water.

NEWSPAPERS

But fun filled enjoyable free papers are not!!! In fact, free papers are on the rise across the country and Tidbits has the largest print readership in Linn and Johnson County. We have the audit to back this up as the others do not. Why pay for yesterday’s news when you’ve already heard it somewhere else? No one can print the news fast enough to be the first on the street anymore. We don’t try to promote what can be easily found elsewhere. Like all other media, regardless of it being a newspaper, direct mailer, radio, TV, or internet based marketing, businesses need to market who they are and what they can offer you. So why not market with a free paper that has the best readership around?! There are over three hundred Tidbits publishers across the country paying for the same fun content you enjoy as a reader, rather than the high prices that national news organizations charge to run their stories.

So if you want to work with companies that can keep their marketing cost down, are 3 kinds of people in this world….those tell them how much you enjoy reading the
