Autumn fruits are a delicious way to get ready for winter. Although they’re less showy than winter or summer citrus, autumn fruits are culturally significant and deeply nourishing. Autumn’s bounty, from crisp apples to fresh pomegranate-juice, is a welcome end to the growing seasons.
The agricultural wealth of Pakistan ensures that delicious and nutritious fruit is available at all times. Understanding which fruits are available in each season — from the citrus fruits of winter to the berries, loquats, and tropical abundance of Summer — will help us enjoy the bounty of nature at its best.
The knowledge of the seasons empowers consumers to enjoy fresh fruits, support local farmers and reap their health benefits. Every season in Pakistan offers something delicious, whether it’s the sweet taste of mangoes during the summer or the tangy kinnows of winter.
