Native to China, peaches are round fruits, and are distinguished by a downy fuzz covering their thin skins. Besides, these fruits mature from green to yellow and then orange, not to mention that their flesh is aromatic, juicy and offers a sweet flavor, balancing sugar and acid for a well-rounded flavor. Peaches are not only charmingly juicy, but they’re also low in calories and contain no saturated fats. In addition, they’re packed with numerous health promoting compounds, minerals, and vitamins. As a matter of fact, fresh peaches are a moderate source of antioxidants and vitamin C which in turn is required for the building of connective tissue inside the human body.
