Autumn has just begun and we, we confess, are happy about it: the summer is splendid, but the idea of having a bit of respite from the heat and spending afternoons sipping steaming cups of tea green, wrapped in a blanket on the sofa… we really like it!
Nutrition, like our habits, should always follow seasonality. But what are the vegetable products to buy for an autumn diet that follows the natural cycle of crops?
Keep in mind that many products are common to the entire autumn season, overlapping the months, but we have tried to divide the most typical harvests of each month.
Let's go and discover them!

These natural foods of plant origin, in fact, can supplement your daily diet with vitamins, minerals, fibers and antioxidants.
An example? The psyllium is perfect if you need more fibre, the Matcha tea is rich in natural antioxidants, organic cocoa from raw beans contains a high quantity of precious mineral salts.
And they're also delicious, which isn't a bad thing, in any season!
