Frozen sliced peaches are pieces of ripe peaches that have been peeled, pitted, and sliced before being quickly frozen to preserve their freshness, flavor, and nutritional value. This ingredient is ideal for use in desserts, smoothies, pies, and other culinary preparations that require the characteristic texture and sweetness of peaches, offering convenience and practicality by not depending on the fruit's fresh season.
Origin: The peach (Prunus persica) is native to China, where it has been cultivated for thousands of years. Currently, its production has spread to various regions of the world with temperate climates, including Latin America, the United States, Spain, and other countries. Peaches are harvested during the summer and, to be enjoyed year-round, they are processed and frozen, remaining suitable for use in culinary recipes.
Properties: Peaches are a good source of vitamins A and C, dietary fiber, and natural antioxidants that help strengthen the immune system and improve digestion. When frozen, they retain much of their nutrients and original flavor, although their texture may become softer upon thawing. Additionally, they are low in calories and fat, making them a healthy ingredient for various preparations.
Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: Throughout different countries, the peach is known by various names, including: melocotón (Spain and some Latin American countries), durazno (Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay), pêche (in French-speaking regions), and in some places, melocotón congelado en rodajas is also used to specify its presentation.
