Peaches!!!!

Having lived for many years with the peach as my state fruit (Georgia), I have a special place in my palate for its fragrant sweetness!

I've been eating a peach a day the last week or so as they are in season. Munching on them for breakfast alongside toast or as a topping on cereal is a lovely way to start the day.

Health Benefits:
Peaches are part of the stone fruit family along with cherries, nectarines and plums, named for the single seed in their center. Peaches are high in vitamin A, C and a significant source of iron, potassium and fiber. Make sure to eat the skin as it contains the highest concentration of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
