Peaches

July and August are well-known for being peach season. However, peaches can be enjoyed all year long! The peach is a member of a class of fruits called stone fruits. Other popular stone fruits include plums, nectarines, apricots, and cherries.

Peaches provide moderate amounts of key vitamins and minerals, such as potassium, vitamin A, and vitamin C. They also contain both soluble and insoluble fiber, which help to support a healthy digestive system. However, peaches are most known for their antioxidant properties and polyphenol content, which can help to boost the immune system and reduce inflammation.

Peaches can make an excellent choice for breakfast, a snack, dessert, or to complement a meal. Consider adding sliced peaches to your favorite cereal, on top of your morning toast, or mixed in with yogurt.
