Colorado seasonal fruits: some of the best flavor profile around the country.

Fresh corn on the cob

Fresh peaches

This is one of the best times in Colorado. The seasonal fruits and veggies are at peak harvest. Palisade peaches, Olathe sweet corn or Rocky Ford cantaloupes are filling up the produce sections. Next up are the Pueblo chilis and apples! Harvest season is so bountiful rich with the nutrients that are bodies need for the upcoming winter. Ever notice when the oranges go on sale? Now think of when the sick/flu season is at its highest. Connection? You bet! The antioxidants from berries, the vitamin C from oranges all provide immune system boosting to combat the winter blues. I think this is just an amazing connection we may not even realize.
