As November rolls in, the bounty of fall produce is a wonderful opportunity to enhance your diet with seasonal foods that support your health. Here’s a look at some delicious options and their benefits.
Seasonal Superfoods
Pumpkins: Packed with vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants, pumpkins can boost your immune system and improve digestion. Consider making a warm pumpkin soup or roasting pumpkin seeds for a healthy snack.
Cranberries: Rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, cranberries can support urinary health and boost immunity. Try adding fresh cranberries to salads or making homemade cranberry sauce.
Brussels Sprouts: These nutrient-dense vegetables are high in fiber, vitamins K and C, and antioxidants. Roasting Brussels sprouts with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar makes a delicious side dish.
Healthy Recipes to Try
Pumpkin Soup: Blend cooked pumpkin with vegetable broth, onions, and spices for a comforting soup.
Cranberry-Quinoa Salad: Combine cooked quinoa, fresh cranberries, chopped nuts, and a light vinaigrette for a nutritious salad.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts: Toss halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast until crispy for a satisfying side.
