Another antioxidant powerhouse, pears can be a forgotten fruit. Bring them back into rotation as part of your breakfast or as an afternoon snack.Pumpkin
Not just for Halloween! Pumpkins are loaded with beta-carotene, one of the plant carotenoids converted to vitamin A in the body. Enjoy their seeds and try a warming pumpkin soup.Beetroot
A good source of iron and folate, beetroot also contains betaine, magnesium and antioxidants. Try including beetroot in your sweet bakes - it goes surprisingly well with chocolate!Salsify
