Focus on Fall Veggies

Hi, I’m Weis Dietitian Melissa Logan with the Weis HealthyBites tip of the week. October brings a bounty of
seasonal vegetables that are packed with nutrients.

  • Squash, like butternut and acorn squash, are not only delicious but also rich in vitamins A and C, which support your immune system.
  • One cup of cooked butternut squash provides over 450% of your daily vitamin A needs—which
    supports your vision and skin.
  • Don't forget about leafy greens like kale and spinach, which are in season too. They're high in
    antioxidants and fiber.
  • Try roasting a mix of these veggies with olive oil, garlic, and your favorite herbs for a colorful, nutritious side dish this fall.
