Seasonal ingredients that enhance both flavor and nutrition. In particular, autumn produce is packed with nutrients and boasts the best taste. Rich in essential nutrients that boost immunity, replenish stamina, and maintain health, it takes care of both your appetite and your health. Based on data from the American health information media outlet *Health*, here are six ingredients that are good to eat in the fall.

 

1. Apple

Apples are freshest from late summer to autumn, with September and October being the peak harvest season. There are various apple varieties, most of which contain abundant dietary fiber and antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, helping to boost immunity and overall health.

2. Pumpkin

Pumpkin is a type of winter squash, and its season is from October to November. It is rich in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as minerals such as zinc, selenium, and iron, providing antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects.

3. Persimmon

Persimmons are a fruit primarily harvested in September and October. They are rich in vitamins A and C, which are beneficial for eye health and immune function, and contain a moderate amount of potassium. Persimmons can be eaten fresh raw or used in cooking.

 

4. Sweet potato

Sweet potatoes, a representative autumn ingredient, can be eaten fresh until the following March. Rich in vitamins A and C and fiber, they are healthy as a complex carbohydrate. One medium-sized sweet potato contains about 100 calories, 23g of carbohydrates, and about 4g of fiber.

 

5. Ship

Like apples, pears are freshest from September to October. Rich in fiber, pears aid in digestive and cardiovascular health. A medium-sized pear contains about 100 calories and over 5g of fiber, making it a good low-calorie snack. It is delicious eaten on its own, or recommended as a flavoring for dishes.
