Then keep this fact in mind when you market: thcT
vegetables you buy won’t help keep the family healthy
unless they ACTUALLY contain ALL the vitamins nature
intended them to have.
But scientific research has proved that vegetables
lose esential vitamins at an alarming rate while they are in
the store UNLESS THEY ARE CONSTANTLY PROTECT-
ED WITH CRUSHED ICE.
Don’t be satisfied with dried-out, vitamin-starved
vegetables. Kay ONLY in up-to-date markets where fresh
produce is bedded in sparkling CRUSHED ICE to keep it
crisp, delicious and FULLY NUTRITIOUS.
CRUSHED ICE KEEPS VEGETABLES
GARDEN-FRESH AND VITAMIN-RICH!
