\"\"Nutritionally speaking, peaches are one of summer’s top performers.\u00a0 Peach nutrition helps your body fight free radicals, prevent cancer and protect your heart from disease.\u00a0\u00a0Caffeic acid, the antioxidant found so richly in peaches has been shown to inhibit a specific cancer found in fibrous connective tissue while other antioxidants in peaches fight certain types of breast cancer cells.\u00a0 Peaches help battle heart disease, improve gut health, supports your eyes.\u00a0 So many benefits.\u00a0 (See the graphic at below. Credit Dr. Axe<\/a>).\u00a0 Eating the whole peach, peel and all, provides most benefit.\u00a0 There is no real benefit in peach syrups, jams or juices.<\/p>\n

Grilling peaches is just plain delicious!\u00a0 Grilling enhances the sweetness of the peach.\u00a0 You might be worried that the peach will get too mushy, but they won’t if you stick to the time recommended.\u00a0 Honestly grilling peaches is super easy.\u00a0 One helpful tip is to brush some light oil, like grapeseed oil, across the top of the fruit so it won’t stick to the grill.\u00a0 I came across this amazing graphic describing how to grill all kinds of fruit from Sharri’s Berries<\/a>.\u00a0 Check it out!<\/p>\n

Eating fruit is an important component of a healthy diet.\u00a0 Each variety of fruit contains unique chemicals, phytonutrients and anti-oxidants that fight specific diseases.\u00a0 That means we need to eat a wide variety of fruits (and of course vegetables).\u00a0 That way you’ll ensure you’re getting as many of these unique chemicals your body needs.\u00a0 Think eating the rainbow when you plate your meal.\u00a0 Is there something green, red, yellow, orange, purple on your plate?\u00a0 Enjoy the beautiful colors, textures, flavor of all of these plant sources!<\/p>\n

\"\"Peaches mean summer is here.\u00a0 In Idaho local peaches don’t appear until about August which means summer is on it’s last month.\u00a0 And I adore summer, so I’m not ready to move on to fall.\u00a0 I’m going to enjoy eating peaches and let the juices run down my face.<\/p>\n

\"\"Your family will love these peaches.\u00a0 Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a spoonful of granola<\/a> and a drizzle of honey for one of summer’s best desserts.<\/p>\n
