How to Enjoy a Bountiful Harvest Season This Fall

Fall Produce

Walnuts aren’t the only produce being harvested this fall in California! From Brussels sprouts and cauliflower, to pomegranates and peppers, there’s a whole array of fruits and vegetables growing right here in our region. Of course, when you think of fall, one of the first things that comes to mind is pumpkins! These gourds are fun to decorate for Halloween, of course, but they are also great to cook with. Whether you’re interested in desserts like breads and pies, or main courses like risotto and soup, make sure to pick up some fresh pumpkin to work with in the kitchen on your next trip to the grocery store or farmer’s market. While fruit feels like a summer treat, there are plenty that are freshly picked for the fall. Some of our favorites from California include apples, figs, pears and pomegranates. Whether you’re making Caramel Apple Pie Bars, a Walnut, Fig & Date Milkshake or Pomegranate Glazed Carrots, there are endless ways to get creative with these flavors and walnuts this season. Further up the West Coast and throughout the rest of the country, some of our favorite fall veggies are grown and harvested this time of year, as well. The Pacific Northwest region is ideal for root veggies like potatoes and onions, while mushrooms often make their way to us from the East Coast! There’s so much fun to be had in the kitchen when you reap the benefits of a bountiful fall harvest. California walnuts pair wonderfully with any of these spice, herb and produce options to create remarkable dishes. Now celebrate harvest in your own kitchen today!
