As the leaves begin to change and the weather cools, it can only mean that Fall is upon us. Varying your fruit and vegetables with the change of the seasons is a healthy and smart way to keep your body feeling good with the right vitamins and minerals throughout the year. Sure you may have to swap those sandals for shoes, but the Fall brings in seasonal produce that can make any meal a nutritious treat that’s fresh without the worry of preservatives or unripe substitutes.
Living in California, many are spoiled with a pretty wide variety of produce year round, but elsewhere in the country, seasonal produce is a novelty and highly anticipated. So here’s what you’ve been waiting for since last Fall that’s hitting your grocery stores and farmer’s markets in ripe abundance.
