A farm hand carries a bucket of Kaiser Wilhelm apples after picking them from a tree at the Apfelhof Waehnert apple farm near Loewenberg, Germany.

For the last installment of our Sound Bites series, we're thinking about why fall favorites are so beloved.

Of course, there's the staples, like apples and pumpkins and yams. But what about other in-season offerings, like guavas, and watermelons?

We dive into the familiar and not-so-familiar flavors that make this season special. What can you make with these ingredients, and what kind of nutrition do they offer?
