Foods you should eat this autumn

Autumn, like all seasons, has its preferred products for consumption. From our organic restaurant in Malaga We know which foods you can't go without this autumn, and for that reason today we want to remind you of them as well as mention some exquisite dishes you can make with them.

Chestnuts

It is the quintessential autumn nut; who hasn't fancied eating a few on those cold, rainy days? Well, even though everyone talks about how fattening this nut is, the reality is that it provides just 20 calories making it one of the lowest-calorie nuts. Furthermore, they are rich in fibre. If you are one of those who eat chestnuts, you will know that the best time to eat them is when they come straight out of the roaster.

Pumpkin

Its mild flavour and easy versatility make pumpkin one of the star products of autumn. Rich in Omega 3 and noted for its long shelf life, it is perfect for those soups that cold days call for. Not only can we eat it baked on its own, but it can also make a very good accompaniment to more heavily spiced dishes.

Spinach

Thanks to Popeye, many little ones managed to eat spinach, but there are still many who resist eating it. Low in calories with a great energy contribution and also helping to improve circulation. This autumnal vegetable is ideal for salads and even for making savoury dishes such as pasties and even croquettes.

Col

Without a minimum amount of fat and rich in vitamin C Cabbage chooses autumn as its main season for consumption. Just like pumpkin, it is ideal for making a good soup accompanied by potato, onion and mushrooms. In addition to this dish, it is also very trendy to bake it gratinated with béchamel and enjoy this curious combination.

Arrows

Mushrooms and toadstools are without a doubt the star food of autumn. This season is the ideal time to carry out the final gathering before frosts take over the daily routine. High in protein and minerals Mushrooms help to boost your immune system. Delicious both grilled and in hot dishes, they are ideal for your day-to-day life.

Besides the ones we mentioned to you, there are many more that are in season this autumn. Beans, lentils or chickpeas are some of the star pulses of this season. If we highlight other vegetables, we must mention celery, rocket, aubergines, the potato, the peppers and the artichokes although without ignoring root vegetables such as carrots or sweet potato. Lastly, and if we want to mention fish, the conger eel, sea bass or octopus are at their best.
