In my home, the kitchen is seasonal. What we eat in summer we don't eat in autumn, nor do we eat in winter what we might eat in spring. That is because we tend to lean on seasonal foods. What's in season now? According to my seasonal chart these foods:
Fall- September, October, November
Apples
Broccoli
Brussels Sprouts
Cabbage
Chinese Cabbage
Cauliflower
Celery Root
Chicory
Cranberries
Cucumbers
Dates
Fennel
Grapes
Greens
Head or Iceberg Lettuce
Leaf Lettuce
Mushrooms
Nuts
Okra
Mandarin Oranges
Pears
Chile Peppers
Sweet Peppers
Persimmons
Pomegranates
Quince
Shallots
Spinach
Winter Squash
Star Fruit
Sweet Potatoes
As you can see there are a variety of fruits and vegetables, enough to allow plenty of variety in any diet. Remember that seasonal foods are usually locally grown and provided by growers in nearby surrounding areas and are always the better priced foods because they are available in quantity
