Dietitian Tips about this Month's Picks

Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes provide similar key nutrients as white potatoes with the exception of having much higher amounts of beta carotene, a component of vitamin A. One medium sweet potato provides enough vitamin A to meet daily needs.

Picking tip:

Choose firm, smooth-skinned potatoes without cracks or soft spots.

Storage tip:

Store in a cool, dark, dry place for up to 2–3 weeks.

Russet Potatoes

The majority of a potato’s valuable nutrients like potassium and vitamin C are found in the flesh, not the skin, contrary to popular belief.

Picking tip:

Select firm potatoes with no green spots or sprouts.

Storage tip:

Store in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place. Do not wash before storing as this can lead to early spoilage.

Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts are a good source of fiber and high in vitamin C.

Picking tip:

Choose compact, firm sprouts with bright green Brussels sprout heads.

Storage tip:

Refrigerate brussels sprouts in a plastic bag for up to one week.

Green Beans

Green beans are a good source of fiber.

Picking tip:

Select beans that are firm, bright green, and snap easily.

Storage tip:

Store unwashed in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Fresh Herbs

Fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.

Picking tip:

Select vibrant, fragrant sprigs without wilting or browning.

Storage tip:

Wrap in a damp paper towel and store in a zipper-lock bag in the refrigerator.

Celery

Celery is low in calories and high in water content, aiding hydration and digestion.

Picking tip:

Choose crisp, firm stalks with fresh leaves.

Storage tip:

Store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.

Blueberries

Just one handful (or 1 cup) contains only 80 calories and is a good source of fiber.

Picking tip:

Select plump, firm berries with a uniform blue color.

Storage tip:

Refrigerate in a breathable container for up to a week.

Bartlett Pears

Pears are an excellent source of fiber and one of the leading fruit sources of fiber.

Picking tip:

For most varieties of pears, the firmness is the best indicator of ripeness. Choose pears that give slightly to gentle pressure at the top of the pear near the stem.

Storage tip:

Store at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerate to extend freshness.

Apples

One apple provides about 20% of your daily fiber needs—great for digestion and keeping you feeling full.

Picking tip:

Choose firm, unbruised apples.

Storage tip:

Keep in the fridge for crisp snacking.

Fall Squash

Squash varieties like butternut and acorn are packed with vitamin A, which supports eye health and the immune system.

Picking tip:

Choose squash with tough, blemish-free skin.

Storage tip:

Store in a cool, dry spot for several weeks.

Cranberries

Cranberries are full of antioxidants, which may help support heart health.

Picking tip:

Pick firm, plump berries.

Storage tip:

Refrigerate and use within a month.

Why Seasonality Shines

Best Flavor:

Fruits and veggies picked at their peak are naturally sweeter, juicier, and more flavorful.

More Nutrition:

Fresh, in-season produce is often richer in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. (With the exception of canned and frozen which are picked at peak ripeness)
