The Food Find: Missouri Peaches
The Facts: Okay, so I know that peaches have been around a while so it’s not necessarily a food “find” BUT, thanks to a friend at work, I just discovered locally grown Missouri peaches and they are amazing! They are organic, juicy and full of flavor.
Peaches in general are a fantastic fruit to snack on because they are relatively low in calories (just 68 in a large peach), high in fiber (3 grams), aid in digestion, contain over 70% of your daily vitamin C needs, have been show to decrease the risk of cancer and the list goes on. Locally grown organic Missouri peaches are even better for you because they don’t come with a coat of toxic pesticides like many peaches in our grocery stores…plus they just taste better!
Peaches are in season NOW…so hurry out to you local farmers market and grab some today!
Spice it up! Obviously you can eat peaches by themselves, but they also make great “toppers.” You can slice them up and top low fat yogurt or non-fat cottage cheese with them to make a great protein packed snack. They are also awesome in smoothies or as a frozen treat.
Until next Friday...
