These days you can purchase pretty much any fresh fruit and vegetable all year long thanks to companies that ship all across the country, but if you want to get the freshest and most flavorful produce, your best bet is to buy what\u2019s in season locally (or head to the freezer aisle, where you\u2019ll find fruits and veggies that have been flash-frozen at the peak of ripeness). Now that the fall season is well underway, balance out your plate with these fruits and vegetables that are full of nutrients and taste delicious too!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Apples<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Apple picking is such a fun fall activity and a great way to stock your fridge with a fruit that has lots of uses. Nutritionally, apples are an excellent source of fiber and a good source of vitamin C. What I love the most about apples is how portable they are \u2013 it\u2019s the perfect snack to take with you anywhere you go. Add apples to your culinary repertoire by saut\u00e9ing with cabbage like I do in my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nutritioulicious.com\/2012\/10\/braised-red-cabbage-with-apples-recipe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Braised Red Cabbage with Red Apples<\/a>, mixing into your morning oatmeal with cinnamon, or making <a href=\"http:\/\/sucralose.org\/ez-baked-apples\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">baked apples<\/a> for a quick and easy low-sugar dessert. Here are more ways to <a href=\"http:\/\/sucralose.org\/fall-apple-season-fun-family-activities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fall in love with apples<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Pears<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Like apples, pears are an excellent source of fiber, most of which is found in the skin, and a good source of vitamin C. There are many varieties of pears, which makes them fun to experiment with in the kitchen. Try adding sliced pears to your next grilled cheese sandwich, puree into a savory <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nutritioulicious.com\/2014\/12\/parsnip-pear-soup-recipe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">soup<\/a> for added sweetness, or enjoy at breakfast with this <a href=\"http:\/\/sucralose.org\/spiced-pear-oatmeal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Spiced Pear Oatmeal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cranberries<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You may be surprised to see cranberries in the produce aisle, but luckily they\u2019ll be lining the shelves come Thanksgiving and Christmas! Cranberries are only second to wild blueberries in antioxidant power, specifically proanthocyanidins, which have been shown to protect against cardiovascular disease and inflammation. Reduce the sugar in your favorite Thanksgiving side dish by using sucralose in your <a href=\"http:\/\/sucralose.org\/cranberry-orange-sauce\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cranberry sauce<\/a>, make some oatmeal cranberry cookies, or bake with sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts for a wintry side dish.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Grapes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Fall is the prime season for table grapes, which come in various colors, contain polyphenols (specifically resveratrol), and are an excellent source of vitamin K. You can eat grapes by the handful, or you can roast them and add to grain salads, use to top a pizza, or even add to <a href=\"http:\/\/recipes.splenda.com\/recipes\/2302275-Chicken-Salad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chicken salad<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no shortage of produce available in the fall, which means there\u2019s no reason to be coming up short on your daily intake.
