Sliced peaches in juice

Peaches sliced in juice are ripe peeled peaches cut into uniform slices or pieces, preserved in natural juice or light syrup. This ingredient is very popular in cooking for preparing desserts, salads, smoothies, and other recipes that require the sweet and juicy flavor of this fruit, but with the convenience of being canned or jarred.

The peach, also known as peach in Spain, is originally from China, where its cultivation dates back more than 4,000 years. From there, it spread to Persia (present-day Iran) and then to Europe and America. Today, peaches are grown all over the world, with large productions in the United States, Spain, Chile, and Mexico.

Peach slices in juice retain most of the nutritional properties of fresh peaches, such as their content of vitamin C, antioxidants, fiber, and minerals like potassium. Being in natural juice, they maintain a fresh flavor and are a practical option for adding natural sweetness and a soft texture to recipes without the need for additional preparation.

In some regions of Latin America, besides *durazno*, they may be called peaches sliced in juice or simply canned peaches. This ingredient makes it easy to quickly incorporate the flavor of peaches into classic desserts like peach pie, yogurts, ice creams, or even in savory dishes that combine fruit and protein.
