FRESH & IN SEASON
Peaches Ripe, juicy peaches are one of summer's joys—and a healthy fruit you'll enjoy eating and cooking all season long. Eat a peach and along with the luscious fruit you’ll get a nice helping of phytochemicals to help protect the body from aging and disease. One of these, the potent hydroxycinnamate, found in both the flesh and peel of the peach, helps to prevent the oxidation of blood fats and the creation of harmful plaque in arteries. Two additional compounds, anthocyanins and flavonols, mostly concentrated in the peel, may provide protection against cancer. Beta carotene, found in peaches and many other yellow- and orange-fleshed fruits and vegetables, promotes clear vision, healthy skin and resistance to infection. When you’ve gotten your fill of their fresh, juicy goodness, try cooking peaches in one of our favorite EatingWell recipes.
