14 days to FALL - Seasonal Eating for your Health

Seasons form the natural backdrop for eating because eating a fruit or vegetable in its season is when you get the most flavor and nutritional value and when it is the most affordable. 

Counting down to the first day of the fall season! 

Making your menu a seasonal one looks different in different regions of the country and even in different parts of the world. However, for the most part, in fall, turn toward the more warming, autumn harvest foods, spices and seasoning, including carrot, sweet potato, onions, garlic, ginger, peppercorns and mustard seeds.
