If you're seeing more and more signs of autumn outside, it's a sign that it's time to say goodbye to strawberries, broad beans, or beans. Other vegetables and fruits that ripen in the fall are now dominating. Although we're used to eating tomatoes and even strawberries all year round, they don't taste as good in winter or autumn as they do in summer. Seasonality is very important for fruits and vegetables because it allows us to be sure that the products we eat are rich in valuable vitamins and microelements. They are healthier, tastier, and cheaper than vegetables and fruits that are grown artificially or imported from distant countries and produced with the addition of chemicals. Their cultivation does not contribute to environmental pollution to the same extent. So, what should you eat in the fall to ensure your meals are tasty and healthy?

pumpkin

The undisputed queen of autumn vegetables is pumpkin , rich in valuable minerals and vitamins, as well as beta-carotene. Both the seeds and the flesh are healthy. You can bake it, make a nutritious, warming soup, or bake a pumpkin pie.

Beetroot

Common beets have many health-promoting properties. They are a valuable source of iron and help prevent anemia. They contain high levels of folic acid, making them especially recommended for pregnant women. They also help lower cholesterol and high blood pressure and boost immunity, which is especially important in the fall. They are delicious in any form—in soup, baked, pickled, in salads, as an ingredient in juice, or even in desserts.

zucchini

It's tender, easily digestible, and healthy. It has a positive effect on the digestive process. It contains many vitamins and trace elements: vitamins C, K, B1, PP, beta-carotene, iron, magnesium, and potassium. It tastes delicious fried, baked, or steamed. It has a low glycemic index and can be consumed as part of a diabetic diet. Zucchini flowers are also edible.

Plums

They taste best in September and October. They support the digestive system and are rich in B and E vitamins. They are excellent for preserves and cakes.

quince

Quince is a very valuable source of vitamin C, as well as magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, and iron. It helps the body fight colds. You can add it to tea instead of lemon and make juices and tinctures from it.

Apples

Autumn apple varieties include Anton apples, Costels, and raspberries. In autumn, it's worth choosing these Polish varieties instead of buying imported apples . Polish autumn apple varieties contain high levels of vitamins A and C, as well as plenty of fiber.

pears

Pears are unusual fruits because they are among the few that contain boron, copper, and potassium in addition to iodine. They also contain many vitamins, including vitamins B, A, C, and PP. They are delicious not only raw but also in cakes, baked with crumbles, or in a pickle.

These are just a few suggestions for autumn vegetables and fruits. Other seasonal autumn vegetables include: broccoli , corn, onions, cabbage, eggplant, kohlrabi, and kale. Autumn fruits include plums, quinces, pears, and apples, as well as grapes, cranberries, and blackberries.
