Fall is in the air and pretty soon the days will become shorter, the nights will grow a little chillier, and Halloween decorations will festoon doorsteps and porches in every neighborhood.
Among these festive holiday happenings are a plethora of fruits and veggies that will come into season. Knowing which produce items are in season can save you money at the grocery store, ensure that you are enjoying certain foods in their peak season, as well as add that little festive touch as the holidays approach. That’s why our friends at Produce For Kids have put together this helpful list of in-season produce for fall.
Apples
Apples could be considered a fall staple. Whether bobbing for them in a metal tub or baking them in a pie, apples have become synonymous for the autumn season. Fall is the peak season for apples, meaning they are much more abundant, so you’re likely to get them at an inexpensive price. Enjoy them in a salad, as a snack, or in a delicious baked cobbler.
Brussels Sprouts
Brussels Sprouts have made an intense comeback in the years of the recent past. No longer are these tasty treats refused at the dinner table by little ones. Made right by just tossing them in olive oil and baking, Brussels Sprouts are quickly becoming a family favorite in homes across the country. Roasting Brussels Sprouts in the oven is a great way to bring out their natural sweetness, and provide a yummy alternative to the way they may have been prepared in your childhood.

Kiwi
Although kiwis are considered a healthy summer treat, their peak season is in October. These fuzzy little delights are excellent in a variety of salads, and produce a little dash of color to an otherwise neutral dish. Try these in a holiday fruit salad, go bold with a fruity pita sandwich, or just enjoy them as they are.
These foods are at their peak — enjoy all of the freshness!
