Need Another Reason To Love Peaches? They’re Really Good For You!
How lucky are we to live so close to the #2 peach producing state in the country? No, it’s not Georgia, despite its longstanding reputation as “The Peach State.” According to Statista, Georgia was just the third-highest peach-producing state in 2019, well behind South Carolina. Only California had a higher peach output last year.
There’s nothing like a juicy peach and this is the time of year for them. Not only are peaches sweet and scrumptious but, according to Shape, they also offer the following health benefits:
- High in vitamin C
- Low in calories
- Good for eye health
- Quick and easy source of fiber
- Help manage blood pressure
There’s no shortage of ways to enjoy peaches. Eat them as a hand fruit, add them to yogurt or ice cream, put them in salsa or on a flatbread pizza. And have you tried grilled peaches? There’s even a hit song from the ’90s about peaches!
