Frozen unsweetened sliced peaches

Unsweetened frozen sliced peaches are pieces of ripe peaches that have been peeled, pitted, cut into wheels, and subsequently frozen without any addition of sugar. This ingredient is ideal to have available year-round, especially when this seasonal fruit is not fresh, and it is used in various recipes such as desserts, smoothies, compotes, and baked preparations.

The peach is native to China, where its cultivation dates back more than 4,000 years, and today it is widely grown in temperate regions of the Americas, Europe, and other parts of the world. Its sweet and juicy flavor is highly valued in gastronomy.

From a nutritional point of view, unsweetened frozen sliced peaches retain much of the properties of fresh peaches, providing fiber, vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and minerals such as potassium. As they contain no added sugars, they are a healthy option for enriching recipes without increasing the calorie content.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, this ingredient may be known by regional synonyms such as frozen melocotones (common in Spain), frozen duranzo, or simply frozen peaches in Latin American countries like Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and Colombia.
