Why fall produce?

As the weather cools, farmers markets and grocery aisles fill up with a new lineup of fruits and vegetables. From crisp apples and pears to hearty squash, root vegetables and leafy greens, fall produce is hearty and satisfying.

Eating with the seasons isn’t just a nice idea. When in season, fall produce tends to be fresher, more flavorful and more affordable.

Many autumn fruits and vegetables are also nutritional standouts. Root vegetables like carrots and sweet potatoes contain fiber and vitamin A. Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, brussels sprouts and cabbage are excellent sources of vitamin C and vitamin K, which support immunity and bone health. And cold-weather fruits like apples, pears and cranberries add flavor along with gut-supporting fiber and various flavonoids. Building more of these into your meals is a simple, tasty way to support your health as the seasons change.

Build your own fall grocery list

Use the list below to create a shopping list that fits your kitchen. Browse the in-season fruits and vegetables, use the + and − buttons to set how much of each you want, and build a list that's uniquely yours.

Once you're done, choose how you'd like to shop: print a copy to take with you to the store, or shop the ingredients directly through Instacart for same-day delivery or pickup. However you shop, you'll head into spring with a clear plan — and a cart full of fresh, in-season picks.
