Fall fruits and vegetables – more than just pumpkin

Believe it or not, pumpkins aren’t the only vegetable that should be associated with fall. In fact, there are several fruits and vegetables that reach optimal freshness around this time.

As might be expected, apples made the list (we’ve all seen the not-so-subtly staged orchard pictures on the ‘Gram), but other in-season fruits include pears, pomegranates and passion fruit. In terms of vegetables, there’s arugula – the perfect base for a fall-inspired salad – eggplant and brussels sprouts.

Those are just a few of many, so put away that pumpkin recipe and give one of these fall dinners or desserts a try.
