#CoachTorres Meal Prep Monday Tip: Harvest Harmony: The Bounty and Benefits of Autumn Produce🍂🍐🥕🍎

Fall in love with the flavors of autumn.🍂🍐

Fall includes the months of September, October, and November. When you think of fall produce, imagine rich colors—burnt-orange, deep purple, and vibrant red. As the seasons change, it’s beneficial to rotate our grocery lists too.

Here are a few autumn produce items and their benefits you should incorporate this season:

📍Sweet Potato: Great for Immune Health

📍Figs: Aid Digestion

📍Radicchio: Excellent liver support

📍⁠Cabbage: Detoxification

📍Pumpkin: An excellent source of vitamin A and Collagen Support. Low in fat and packed with essential vitamins and minerals. High in antioxidants, potassium, vitamin C, and fiber, which have been linked to heart health.

📍Pears: Great for gut health. Here’s a great recipe for a Butternut Squash-Bartlett Pear Soup:https://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipes/butternut-squash-bartlett-pear-soup

📍Cauliflower: Supports cell repair

📍Dates: Boost brain health

📍Parsnips: Promote bone health

The best place to experience these delicious veggies at their freshest is at a Community Support Agriculture [CSA]. A CSA usually means a weekly or biweekly box of local, in-season fruits and veggies, but every CSA is a bit different. Some deliver to your door, others have pick-up locations, and some let you choose your produce.

The benefits of joining a CSA include:

✅supporting your local community

✅eating more produce

✅experimenting with new foods

✅EATING SEASONALLY

✅saving money

Here’s a link where you can search for your local CSA by zip code: https://www.ams.usda.gov/local-food-directories/csas
