Fresh peaches

Fresh peaches are juicy and sweet fruits from the Prunus persica tree, native to China but widely cultivated in many temperate regions of the world. Their flesh can vary in color from a deep yellow to a soft pink, and their thin, velvety skin, with a characteristic orange tone and red hues, makes them easily recognizable.

This ingredient is highly valued in cooking for its sweet and aromatic flavor, ideal for both sweet and savory preparations, including desserts, jams, salads, and main dishes. Fresh peaches provide a juicy texture that enhances the flavor of recipes.

Regarding their nutritional properties, peaches are a good source of vitamin C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, making them a beneficial food for digestive health and the immune system, also helping to maintain healthy skin.

In different Latin American countries, fresh peaches are also known as melocotones or velvet-skinned peaches. Regardless of the name, this fruit is a versatile and delicious ingredient, essential in the pantry of those who enjoy cooking with fresh products.
