What's in Season in October?

Hello October and welcome to month 10 of our Monthly Seasonal Produce Guides! October is the first full month of fall, and with it all things pumpkin.  Many pumpkins are sold for decoration or carving, so if you are looking for the best pumpkins to cook and eat, look for sugar pumpkins and kabocha. You'll also find acorn squash, butternut, and spaghetti squash, as well as thin-skinned delicata squash. For fruit, in early October we can still find figs and grapes. Apples and pears are peaking right now. Have you gone apple picking yet?  Store apples and pears in the fridge if you want them to last. They love cold storage and can keep for months. Chilly fall weather brings out root vegetables like parsnips, celery root, and beets, which we will be enjoying throughout the cold season. You'll find tubers too, like fingerling potatoes, ginger, and jerusalem artichokes. Trouble reading this email?  View in browser What’s in Season in October?
