15 Superfoods Perfect for Autumn

By  | 

Spring and summer seem to get top billing for the best times of the year to enjoy fruits and vegetables, but we’re equally enamored with fall produce. In fact, autumn has some of the most distinctive foods and traditions, with Thanksgiving taking centerstage. To celebrate the season, we’ve assembled a list of our top 15 foods for fall, focusing on produce that is best enjoyed during this wonderful time of year.

As with any food, these superfoods are only as healthy as the ways in which they’re prepared, so do your best not to drench you sweet potatoes in butter, and maybe avoid dipping your apples in caramel. (Okay, caramel apples at state fairs and festivals are totally acceptable. It’s tradition!) Also, whenever possible, consider going organic for all of these foods, except perhaps the root vegetables. Fruits like apples and pears get heavy pesticide use and covered in a wax to make them more appealing to shoppers. We’d rather just buy organic and not worry about that.

Without further ado, Wably’s top 15 superfoods for Fall.
