Fall Recipes for you
Fall recipes for you
We find cooking and baking during the fall to be so fun and tasty with so much seasonal, nutrient-dense, and flavorful produce. To make things easier for you, we have compiled a whole bunch of delicious and nutritious recipes (broken down by meal) from our website that features in-season fall produce.
Why do I care? And what’s in season?
Before we jump into it let’s recap why you should eat in season and what’s in season this fall. To put it simply, eating in season is better for your health, tastes better, is environmentally friendly, and is cheaper.
Fruits in season include apples, figs, grapes, pears, and pomegranate. Veggies in season include arugula, beets, broccoli, brussels, butternut squash, carrots, cauliflower, cabbage, celery, eggplant, parsnips, potatoes, garlic, mushrooms, turnips, and zucchini. Lastly, commonly used fall spices include allspice, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, pumpkin spice, and saffron.
