Autumn vegetables and fruit: in season now

The fact that it's slowly getting colder and less comfortable outside doesn't bother us at all. Because the golden season not only brings great inspiration for decorations, but also delicious autumn vegetables and fruit. Pumpkin, parsnip & co. now warm us from the inside and provide us with important vitamins and nutrients.

Pumpkin, parsnip, apple & co.: these delicious fruits and vegetables delight us in the golden fall.

Our favorite vegetables in autumn

Our favorite autumn vegetable is and remains pumpkin, of course. Hokkaido, butternut & co. make great stews and soups or even waffles and pancakes. But parsnips are also in season now and are particularly suitable as a side dish for hearty dishes and casseroles.

Delicious and healthy: fall fruit

In addition to pears, plums and a large selection of juicy, regional apples, we can now also look forward to quinces. The yellow autumn fruit is in season from September to November and also tastes delicious as jelly.

Here we reveal which vegetables and fruits are still in season in the fall and why they are so healthy:

  • Pumpkin is rich in vitamins, minerals and filling fiber
  • Beet slows down gradual inflammation and has an antioxidant effect
  • Apple lowers cholesterol levels and helps you lose weight thanks to its high fiber content
  • Brussels sprouts are rich in nutrients, vitamins and bitter substances and thus protect against colds
  • Parsnips are rich in carbohydrates and are perfect for soups and purees
  • Although quinces are inedible raw, the fruit is delicious when prepared and is good for the stomach and intestines thanks to its high pectin, tannin and fiber content
