An Ode to Orange
An Ode to Orange
Fall in Minnesota heralds a change of color, but not only on the trees. Autumn brings shades of marigold, marmalade, saffron, amber and rust to the Produce Department, too. Carrots, pumpkin, squash and sweet potatoes are just the start of an onslaught of orange that runs all the way through early winter's kumquats, Cara Cara oranges, persimmons and mandarins. Right now, we're celebrating all things orange in some of the season's best as side dishes. They're just perfect for your holiday table.

Good to Know:
Red, orange and yellow fruits and vegetables get their color from carotenoids, a family of pigments which are also nutrients. Two carotenoids in particular, lutein and zeaxanthin, support healthy eyes. Their antioxidant activity can slow the progression of age-related macular degeneration as well as the risk of developing cataracts.
