Peaches

The peach is a juicy summer fruit originating from China, where it has been cultivated for over 4,000 years. Today it is widely grown in warm regions around the world. It is characterised by a soft velvety skin, golden-yellow to orange flesh, and a distinctly sweet flavour with a slightly tangy undertone. In the kitchen, peaches are used in desserts, cakes, jams, and fruit salads. They also pair well with meat, especially pork and poultry. Peaches are an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin A, and potassium.
