Dried Peaches
Fresh peaches originate from China and are juicy with a slightly fuzzy skin. Dried peaches have the skin removed and are deliciously light and sweet, with a chewy outside and floral smell.
Peaches are fantastic for heart health, regulating moods, improving sleep, and nurturing your gut and youthful skin. Our South African Peach Halves have a natural, syrupy sweetness to add to baking or snack on raw.
Nutritional benefits of dried peaches
Dried peaches not only taste good but are host to multiple health and wellness benefits. This is because they are high in crucial vitamins and minerals.
Bursting with vitamin C - Your body needs vitamin C to increase antibodies, which fight harmful bacteria. This is vital to protect against common coughs, colds, and more severe illnesses like the flu.
High in vitamin A - Vitamin A, also known as retinol, is a natural way to regulate your skin’s hydration for a soft, moisturised complexion. It is also essential for eyesight and boosts your immune system.
Source of fibre - A well-functioning gut is crucial because it affects hormone stimulation and vital organs. Dried peaches have a wonderful chewy texture that delivers your digestive system with fibre for smooth internal workings.
Contains iron - If you don’t have enough iron, you will struggle with extreme fatigue, sometimes involuntarily falling asleep or finding it impossible to focus. Iron deficiencies are common in young women, but they can occur no matter what your age or gender. So, ensure you get enough by including a wide variety of fruit, such as peaches, in your diet.
Rich in vitamin E - Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant that protects against free radicals. These radicals destroy and attack cells, causing premature ageing and health issues, so top up your antioxidant levels with dried peaches.
Easy ways to eat dried peaches
It’s simple to enjoy dried peaches because of their natural syrupy taste. Here are a few ways to incorporate the delicious fruit into your diet:
Include dried peaches in your desserts - Chopped-up dried peaches give cakes a nutritious boost with their fruity flavour. You can also sprinkle them on top of ice cream for fibre.
Combine into a trail mix - Some people find it challenging to eat plain nuts and seeds. That’s why dried peaches complement a trail mix to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Mix into cereal bars - If you’re interested in homemade cereal bars, try mixing them with dried peaches for the fruit’s antioxidant properties.
Add flavour to your breakfast - Dried peaches complement granola and give plain Greek yoghurt some peachy goodness.
