Frost Touch Foods Need Care For Winter Storage

Tender vegetables and fruits may be used as food after they have been slightly touched by frost but few damaged products will store well for the winter season. Tomatoes peppers squash pumpkins and sweet potatoes require care in the frost season. Crops in small gardens can be protected from light frosts by a covering of burlap or cloth.

Tests show off odors or flavors in milk originate when cows consume strong flavored forage. The compounds are taken up from the bloodstream and appear in milk, rather than being caused by barn exposures.
