Organic Fall Produce Shopping Guide
Pumpkin, apples, cinnamon, sweet potatoes… ahh, the flavors of fall. These days, you can find most produce available year-round, especially in canned and frozen varieties. But if you’re looking to buy fresh produce, there are certain fruits and veggies that you’ll likely find in abundance in the fall months. Plus, when you shop in season, you’re getting to experience fall favorites at their peak of freshness and flavor!
At Uncle Matt’s, we always recommend choosing a variety of organic produce as often as possible. The USDA organic seal of approval means that the produce was grown subject to strict federal regulations and is free of prohibited pesticides. What happens when you can’t find an organic option? Use the EWG’s Dirty Dozen™ and Clean Fifteen™ as a guide for safe conventional produce shopping.
With the help of the USDA SNAP-Ed Connection and the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, we’ve put together a list of seasonal produce to add to your grocery cart over the next few months. You’ll even find some of our beloved citrus varieties and our other top picks for ingredients in our delicious beverage innovations on this list. Happy Fall!
