YOUR SEPTEMBER PRODUCE GUIDE
Green Beans This time of year, green beans are in their prime. When picking out your green beans, look for crisp ones. Give them the snap test — if they snap when you bend them, you know they’re ripe and ready to go! Beets Did you know that if you buy fresh beets, they stay good for weeks? You can roast them, steam them, or even pickle them. If you enjoy it, you can also eat them raw! Look for beets with attached greens and trim them off when you get home for optimal freshness. Berries Raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries are all in season now! You can snack on them, toss them in oatmeal or yogurt or even bake with them. Berries are a great source of antioxidants and a refreshing snack. Carrots Carrots are the sweetest in the fall! When choosing your carrots in the supermarket, scope out bunches with the greens still attached and trim them off when you get home. This will help to preserve their freshness longer!
Along with the changing seasons come new fruits and vegetables that take the spotlight. Throughout September, as we cruise into fall, look at the produce that should be on your shopping list and some of the best ways to use them! Tomatoes You can’t go wrong with tomatoes this month — heirloom, cherry, beefsteak, and Roma tomatoes are all in season, so fill up on them! Whether you make salsa, bruschetta, BLTs, marinara sauce, or tomato and basil soup, tomatoes are a staple! Apples Gala and McIntosh apples are in season now! Be sure to stock up — they’re an excellent snack, or you can cut them up and dip them in a nut butter or sprinkle some cinnamon on top for an extra kick. You can even whip up an apple pie if you’re feeling adventurous!
