Autumn is here! Are you ready to eat the harvest?

As the autumn season settles in around us, the bounty of the harvest becomes ripe for enjoyment. This is my favorite time of year with the cool breezes, bright leaves and delicious food! Focusing on eating with the seasons, particularly fall, offers a number of nutritional benefits, helps support local agriculture, and connects us to the rhythm of nature. I hope this fall harvest guide will provide an overview of top seasonal produce, the benefits of seasonal eating, and a recipe to help you get started with foraging fall produce.

Why it’s important to eat seasonally

Eating seasonal, local produce is not only beneficial for your health but also for the environment and local economy. It matters and here’s why!

  1. Better Nutritional Value: If you get a chance to visit your local farmers market this fall, you won’t be disappointed! Seasonal produce is often fresher and more nutritious. Vegetables and fruits harvested at their peak retain higher levels of vitamins and antioxidants compared to those grown out of season and shipped from far away.

  2. Economic: Let’s be honest, the cost of food is crazy right now! When produce is in season, it is usually more abundant, leading to lower prices. This helps you save money while supporting local farmers.

  3. viability: Eating locally and seasonally reduces the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation. It also supports sustainable farming practices. When our local farmers prosper, we all prosper!

  4. Taste: There is nothing like the taste of fresh seasonal produce. These species are often harvested when fully ripe, offering better flavor and texture. Right now carrots are sweeter, zucchini tender and let’s not forget the love for pumpkin and pumpkin spiced everything up!!

Canadian Fall Harvest

We are somewhat limited here in what we can grow in the great white North, but what we have we should take advantage of! Here are some of the most popular and nutritious foods available in Canada during the fall season:

  • Pumpkin: Rich in vitamins A and C, pumpkin supports immune health, especially as cold and flu season approaches.

  • Squash: Butternut squash, acorns and spaghetti squash are high in fiber and contain antioxidants that support overall well-being.

  • Cabbage: Packed with vitamin C and fiber, kale is versatile and affordable. Don’t forget this is the season to make your sauerkraut for gut health!

  • Beetroot: Full of iron and folate, beets are great for improving blood health and boosting energy levels.

  • Brussels sprouts: These small cruciferous vegetables are high in fiber, vitamins K and C and help support gut health.

  • carrots: Rich in beta-carotene, carrots support eye health and offer a naturally sweet flavor that pairs well with fall dishes.

  • Apples: This quintessential autumn fruit is rich in fiber and antioxidants, helping to maintain smooth digestion and prevent oxidative stress.

Recipe: Roasted Autumn with vegetables

This simple recipe highlights seasonal fall vegetables and is perfect for a warm dinner or holiday side dish.

Ingredients:

  • 1 small butternut squash, peeled and diced

  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced

  • 1 red onion, sliced

  • 1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved

  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Add all the vegetables to the olive oil, thyme, salt and pepper.

  3. Spread the vegetables evenly on a baking sheet.

  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until soft and golden.

  5. Serve warm as a side or over quinoa or greens for a hearty fall meal.

How eating seasonally affects health

Research has shown that seasonal consumption can have immediate health benefits, from improving immune function to reducing inflammation. For example, a study by British Journal of Nutrition highlights how eating seasonally available fruits and vegetables can boost antioxidant intake. Similarly, the increased freshness and ripeness of seasonal foods can support better digestion and absorption of nutrients. Let’s face it, we know we’re headed into the deep freeze of winter, so now is the time to take advantage of what Mother Nature has to offer!

Incorporating seasonal fall foods into your diet is a beneficial and healthy practice. Not only does it allow you to enjoy the flavors and nutrients nature provides, but it also connects you to your community and environment. As you explore the variety of fall produce, experiment with new recipes and embrace the season’s natural abundance.

If you’re ready to take your nutrition to the next level and incorporate seasonal nutrition into your lifestyle, No Shoes Nutrition can guide you through a personalized nutrition plan. Reach out for a free consultation and start your journey to better health today.
