Canned peaches

Canned peaches are ripe peaches that have been peeled, cut, and preserved in syrup inside sealed cans to extend their shelf life and maintain their sweet and juicy flavor. This ingredient is very popular in baking and various dessert recipes, as it provides a soft texture and a natural sweet taste, ideal for preparing pies, cakes, ice creams, and fruit salads.

The peach, originally from China, has been cultivated for thousands of years and arrived in America through Spanish colonization. The canning technique allows this fruit to be enjoyed year-round, even outside its natural season.

The nutritional properties of canned peaches include a supply of simple carbohydrates, primarily sugars, in addition to fiber and small amounts of vitamins such as vitamin A and C, although these are reduced during the preservation process. It is important to choose canned peaches without excess added sugar for a healthier option.

In different Latin American countries, canned peaches are also known as peaches in syrup or peaches in syrup, being interchangeable terms used according to the region.
