September's produce, labeled

Ten things at their actual peak right now, each labeled with the one reason it earns the space in your bag. September is the strange overlap month: the last of the summer tomatoes and sweet corn are still here, and the first winter squash and the Bartlett and Bosc pears have arrived. Three things the labels did not have room for: Tomatoes are the odd one out, because cooking makes them better rather than worse. Your body gets more of the good red stuff out of a cooked tomato than a raw one. So the end of tomato season is a good week to make a sauce, not just a salad. Apples start their national peak this month, which is why they suddenly taste like something again. Eat the skin, most of the fiber is in it. Grapes and figs are both at their best right now and both go quickly. Figs especially, so do not save them for later. Buying what is in season is not a moral position. Food picked close to ripe just tastes better and usually costs less, and in September that list happens to be long. Save this before your next shop.
