10 Fall Fruits and Vegetables to Add to Your Plate

Believe it or not, there’s some truth to the statement, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Eating fruits and vegetables, like apples, has lasting benefits that extend just beyond adding more nutrition to your daily diet. So that notion can actually apply to most seasonal produce, including fall fruits and vegetables.

For instance, research has found that eating seven or more servings of fruits and vegetables daily reduces one’s risk of premature death by 42 percent. If that’s not enough to encourage you to pick up an apple, further research estimates that if even half of Americans increased their produce consumption by just one serving a day, nearly 20,000 cancer cases could be prevented each year.

With that said, a majority of Americans still fall short when it comes to getting those daily fruits and veggies in. According to the 2020 State of the Plate Executive Summary by the Produce for Better Health Foundation, America’s produce consumption has decreased by 10 percent since 2004. On average, adults consume only 1.6 of the recommended 2 to 4 cups of vegetables per day and just under 1 of the recommended 1.5 to 2.5 cups of fruit per day.

Do yourself a favor and bolster your diet with these 10 fall fruits and vegetables that should make it to your shopping cart this season. We promise your body will thank you.
