Peaches


Nutrition

A good source of fiber, peaches help keep blood sugar and cholesterol low. They include flavonoids and deliver 10 percent of recommended daily intake of vitamin C. Peaches are also low in calories and are filling due to their high water content, typically between 80% and 90%.

Serving size: 1 medium fruit, Calories: 38.2, Fat: 0.2 grams, Cholesterol: 0 milligrams, Sodium: 0 milligrams, Total Carbohydrates: 9.3 grams, Dietary Fiber: 1.5 grams, Sugars: 8.2 grams, Protein: 0.9 grams

Harvest

The fruit should be very fragrant at harvest. 

Shopping

Avoid peaches that are too firm, wrinkled, or very soft. Make sure there are no dark spots, as this fruit is easily damaged.  Choose larger fruit for the best product.

Preparation


Fresh peaches rinsed in cold water are ready to eat.

Fresh peaches are juicier and have a better flavor when served at room temperature.


Slice and serve in yogurt or over ice cream.

Add to fruit salads.

Add to frozen daiquiris, smoothies or shakes.

Add to breads, pies and pastries.

The flavor of peaches complements poultry dishes. Add a peach sauce or salsa to top grilled chicken breast.

Peach cobblers are a summer favorite.

Storage

Fresh peaches will only keep for about 5 days in the refrigerator.

If not yet fully ripe, do not refrigerate.
