National Fruits & Veggies Month

September

September in the U.S. is National Fruits & Veggies Month, a cue to cook with color and abundance. Markets brim with tomatoes, corn, peppers, eggplant, zucchini, grapes, peaches, and the first apples and pears. Lean into simple techniques: no-cook salads and salsas, grilled corn and peppers, quick pickles, and sheet-pan roasts. Blend chilled or silky soups, bake fruit crisps and pies, and stash pesto or tomato sauce for later. Shop by flavor and feel—ripe, heavy, fragrant—and build meals around produce, letting proteins play supporting roles.
