Fall fruits and vegetables. ()
As we creep into fall and eventually winter, soon new fruits and vegetables will creep into the produce aisle. When produce is in-season you’ll see a lot more of it. It’ll be cheaper and likely taste better. The good news is fall is harvest season in Europe, so the produce stands and farmers’ markets will be full of new, fresh and delicious fruits, veggies and nuts. However, some of your spring and summer favorites will be hard to find and may disappear altogether. Here’s the list for northern and western Europe.
