PEACHES

Peach (Prunus persica), a fruit tree of the rose family (Rosaceae), grows throughout the warmer temperate regions of both the northern and southern hemispheres. Canned peaches are a staple in many areas.

peaches are rich in fiber and protein and are widely consumed fresh as a dessert fruit and also cooked in pies and cobblers. They are rich in minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium, as well as natural sugars that help provide energy, as well as a wide range of vitamins and minerals needed for daily consumption.
