As life around us begins to turn into yellows and golds and pumpkin oranges, so shall our diets! It is no coincidence that this is the time of year when fruits and vegetables begin to grow this very hue that our autumn colors mimic. All these autumn-colored foods support the spleen tremendously by providing an abundance of enzymes and carotenoids that boost immunity and digestion. I would also include yams, sweet potatoes, and any other kinds of squashes in this category of excellent autumn foods to enjoy. Toast the seeds with a little warming spice like ginger, cinnamon, and clove…yum.
