Abstract

Excerpts from the report Summary: Vegetable consumption per capita is about 15 percent greater today than 50 years ago. Consumption increased moderately from the mid-1920's to a peak in World War II. Since that time, use of processed vegetables has continued to increase, but the increase has been offset by a decline in use of commercial fresh vegetables. The continuing decrease in use of home-produced vegetables resulted, in recent years, in some decline in the overall total. Per capita consumption of potatoes, sweetpotatoes, and dry beans and peas is much less than 50 years ago. But increased use of processed items has halted the decline in consumption of potatoes, and it has slowed the downward trend in use of sweetpotatoes.
