A peach is similar to a nectarine, but has a luxurious velvety skin with a yellow or white flesh. This fruit is very juicy and sweet tasting – one serving (100g or 3.5oz) contains nearly 10g of carbohydrates.

A peach is very low in calories, just 39 calories per serving. Fat is almost non-existent and they contain no cholesterol, so are ideal for a snack or as a dessert.

They provide a good source of vitamin C, and a modest amount of vitamin A along with other vitamins and minerals. In the centre of a peach is a large stone, this should be thrown away as it can be toxic. Peaches are great for digestion and are believed to help our complexion. They will also boost your immune system. Eating a peach fresh is the best way to take advantage of its nutrients

Peaches bruise very easily, so be selective when purchasing. You’ll know if the peach is ripe if it yields slightly to the touch. If the fruit is ripe, eat it on the same day, as they will go off quickly, otherwise the fruit will continue to ripen once you have purchased it.
