What Fruit and Vegetable Produce is Best in the Fall Months?
Butternut Squash
One of the best vegetables to buy in the fall months
There are a million recipes you can find for butternut squash. The bell-shaped "winter squash" is best served cooked with cinnamon, nutmeg, curry or cumin. It's also a great source of vitamin A and fiber. Try and find ones that are dry and dull, not shiny, with the stems intact, no cracks and are quite heavy for their size.

Pears
Perfect as a dessert in the autumn months
These fruits are actually quite popular all year, but you'll find extra varieties and an abundance of pears in the autumn months. With plenty of fiber (5 grams on the average) and a good source of Vitamin C and Potassium, the sweetness of pears can be an excellent treat.Usually, pears need to be slightly ripened after purchase. Avoid bruises or extra hard ones, and try to look for unblemished and slightly green pears.

Pomegranate
Versatile, sweet and tart, a fruit that's healthy and in season in the fall
Pomegranate has been the latest health craze, or marketing craze, depending on how you look at it. It has huge amounts of antioxidants, which are all the rage right now in reducing risks of certain cancer types. Find it in juice form or by purchasing the whole fruit.You may be surpised if you haven't seen one before, but you have to cut the fruit open and eat the seeds...which are just about the most delicious fruit out there. It may take some work to get the seeds out, but the taste is well worth it. Or just have a glass of the juice!

Healthy, sweet and delicious for any fall dinner
These aren't yams, contrary to popular belief. These are better for you. Sweet potatoes have over 300% of your daily Vitamin A intake, and only about 125 calories.Look for dry, dark, smooth sweet potatoes, avoiding wetness and bruising. These are great cooked whole or cooked and peeled with butter. Some people even add marshmallow or butter and cinnamon, but the taste is great alone.

Pumpkin
Increase your beta carotene and cook this fall with more pumpkin!
When you think of fall, you think pumpkin immediately. To find the best ones to cook for your autumn recipes, look for at least two inches of stem left to avoid decay, heaviness, and spot/blemish-free surfaces. Akward shapes typically don't matter, so don't worry about that.Pumpkin has huge amounts of beta-carotene, long believed to reduce risks of cancer and heart disease. Find your favorite pumpkin recipe online, in your cookbook, or from a friend and start cooking!

The ultimate fall harvest fruit for all dishes
A whole separate guide could be written just for apples, but in a quick summary, we can just say that they are a great source of vitamin C and fiber, and be sure to look for unbruised, firm apples with perfectly unbroken skin.Your favorite pie, salad or pork dish has apples as a key ingredient. Rub lemon juice on freshly cored apples if you plan on serving to avoid the browning that happens from oxidation.

- Congratulations on your Best of Squidoo award! So well deserved, really. I love fall veggies and fruits and had a difficult time choosing which is my favorite...if there had been an "all of the above" selection, I'd have chosen that.
