They are he althy, taste wonderfully sweet and can be used in a wide variety of dishes. But what is actually in peaches?
With its sweet aroma, the peach is one of the most popular types of fruit - and not just among adults. Even children can often not get enough of it from an early age. No wonder, because peaches taste wonderfully sweet and are refreshing.
And the great thing: they can be processed in so many different ways. For example, you can use it to make must, jam, compote, cake and much, much more. Among other things, you can also dry peaches, process them into liqueur and even grill them.
Peaches not only taste great. When is the peach season from mid-May to around the end of September, the trees in the home garden also spread a pleasant, enticing scent.
What are the nutritional values of peaches?
Peaches have only a few calories (42 kilocalories per 100 grams), so they are suitable for a figure-conscious diet. But not only that: due to their high water content (average 87 grams), they are also a delicious refreshment in summer.
Of course, the peach also contains a lot of valuable vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins C, B1, B2 and A as well as a good amount of magnesium, calcium and potassium. So peaches are not calorie bombs, but rather small vitamin bombs.
