Why they’re good: Peaches have moderate sweetness but still a low to moderate GI (~42 or so depending on ripeness). They also bring vitamins A and C, and fibre.
When to eat: Good dessert option or snack. Especially in summer when they are fresh and juicy. Eating peaches with yoghurt or cottage cheese helps balance.
Best way to eat: Choose ripe, juicy, and fragrant peaches instead of canned ones packed in sugary syrup for far better nutrition, freshness, and vibrant natural flavor. Grill halved peaches until golden, tender, and lightly charred for a smoky, caramelized treat, or slice them into colorful, refreshing summer salads for a juicy, sweet contrast that brightens any meal. You can also pair fresh peach slices with a gentle sprinkle of cinnamon, a drizzle of raw honey, or even a spoonful of creamy Greek yogurt for a light, wholesome, and satisfying dessert option. For a more balanced, simple, and deeply nutritious meal, combine peaches with protein-rich foods like cottage cheese, quinoa, or grilled chicken, adding both tangy taste, valuable nourishment, and delightful texture to your plate in every bite.
