What's In Season for Fall
Happy Fall! As a registered dietitian (RD), I get many questions about healthy eating, especially eating healthy on a budget. One of my biggest tips for healthy eating on a budget is to eat seasonally. How do you eat seasonally? You can check out this list below and go to a local farmers market or grocery store. Eating seasonally is one of my favorite ways to get inspiration to plan menus.
Fruits
Apples
Pears
Cranberries
Fig
Vegetables
Butter Lettuce
Broccoli
Brussels sprouts
Cauliflower
Celery
Fennel
Garlic
Ginger
Grapes
Green beans
Green onions (scallions)
Jalapeno Peppers
Parsley
Pears
Pumpkins
Mushrooms
Rosemary
Sage
Shallots
Sweet Potatoes
Thyme
Winter Squash
I encourage you to try eating seasonally. The benefits include:
- Eating locally - Eating locally supports local farmers or if you garden, you can eat what is ripe straight from your garden.
- Cost Effect - Eating fresh means you don't pay for shipping from other areas.
- Fresh - Eating seasonally means that vegetables
