The answers to today's Strands, game #210, are…

SQUASH
PUMPKIN
ONION
APPLE
RADISH
KOHLRABI
SPANGRAM: FALLHARVEST

My rating: Easy
My score: Perfect

Today I learned for the first time of KOHLRABI, a vegetable whose name apparently translates literally as 'cabbage turnip' and which tastes a little like a broccoli stem. Fortunately the other answers today were a lot easier to find, although I did struggle a little with the spangram, FALLHARVEST, because here in the UK we say 'autumn' not 'fall'. But no matter – I was able to uncover enough answers that eventually the spangram revealed itself to me, and though it still took me a while to work out that the final word was indeed the aforementioned KOHLRABI, I got there without needing hints.
