A new season is just around the corner, prompting the familiar question: what should we eat right now? Prioritizing seasonal foods ensures superior flavor, minimal processing, and better value. Autumn is the perfect time to load up on nutrient-rich produce ahead of winter.
Discover the top fruits and vegetables to enjoy this season!
Summer favorites like melon and strawberries are behind us, but autumn brings delights such as roasted chestnuts—perfect grilled or paired with dishes. October highlights include grapes, quince, walnuts, and figs. Don't miss the season's essentials: apples and pears.
Forage for forest treasures like porcini, morels, and chanterelles (always identify them safely!). Cabbage fans rejoice—cauliflower, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts are at their peak, ideal raw or cooked. As Halloween nears, squash steals the show: pumpkin, butternut, and more, brimming with vitamins A and iron for vibrant, colorful plates. Root veggies emerge too: beets, parsnips, Jerusalem artichokes, carrots, turnips, and beyond. Roast them au gratin or simmer in hearty soups to warm up.
