What are the seasonal vegetables and fruits to eat in September?

“September produces us, the most delectable of fruits”. The ninth month of the year marks the transition from late summer to early fall. A period rich in emotions and events. Between the end of the holidays and the resumption of school or work, new resolutions fuse for millions of French people. And many people want to (re) adopt good eating habits. First advice to take into account? Adopt a healthy and varied diet with the addition, among other things, of seasonal fruits and vegetables of all kinds.

Several criteria must be taken into consideration when choosing your foods. In particular the seasonality of the different fruits and vegetables sold in supermarkets. Indeed, even if it is possible to eat tomatoes in winter or clementines in summer, these consumption habits can impact the flavors of the product, its price, as well as its environmental footprint. So prefer fruits and vegetables according to the month of the year, and not according to your desires of the moment.

Fruits and vegetables are to be consumed throughout the year. But some, more than others, are to be integrated into our diet when September comes. Grapes, almonds, peaches, artichokes, aubergines… We have listed the ones to taste from the start of the school year.
