Ingredient Spotlight: Peaches!


There is really nothing as sweet, juicy, and refreshing as  a late-summer peach. The taste, texture, and smell are simply incomparable. Not only are peaches a tasty treat, but they're good for you too! 

Peaches are a great source of potassium which helps to combat fatigue, anxiety, muscle weakness, unhealthy skin, poor memory, hypertension and heart problems. Is there anything this fuzzy fruit doesn't  help with?

Another benefit of peaches is that they are packed with  beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. This will help to prevent  cataracts, the immune system, bones and teeth, and the urinary system. 

Peaches are also high in fiber, lycopene, and lutein! They are a great source of vitamin C, and helps fight cancer. 


So grab a peach! Slice it, spice it, grill it. Make a cobbler, a compote, a preserve, or eat it just plain raw. Indulge in this sweet treat without feeling guilty!
