This time of year pumpkin flavors come out in full force and we’re not complaining! We certainly celebrate pumpkin as a very festive Autumn flavor, and there are other reasons why.
Pumpkins and other winter squashes are late autumn and winter vegetables. Packed with Vitamin A and Vitamin C, immune system supportive nutrients, they’re great for eating this time of year. Not only will you reap their health benefits, you’ll get to enjoy their peak savory sweetness by eating them seasonally.
To help you incorporate more of this nutrient powerhouse, we have another fall recipe for you to enjoy using some of our 5 Nut Granola. Check it out!
