October fruits and veggies!

Not exactly my favorite time for fruits here in California. I cheat on local produce every now and then with a banana, but I try to eat local for freshness. Eating recently picked produce means the nutrient content is highest and the flavor is at it's best. At chain supermarkets it also means cheap prices. Here's a list of fruits and veggies in season during October for the Western US:

asparagus

apples
broccoli

carrot
cauliflower

chile
collards

eggplant

grape

green beans
kale
lettuce

pears

pepper

persimmons

pumpkin

radish

strawberry

winter squash

If local gets too boring for you here's the season's produce for the rest of the States:

beets

blackberries

brussel sprouts

cabbage

chicory

cranberries

dates

figs

leeks

okra

orange

parsnip

pumpkin

shallot

sweet potato

turnip

watercress
