The peach is a delicious fruit belonging to the rose family and is closely related to plums and almonds. It is characterized by its soft, velvety skin and juicy flesh, which ranges in color from white to yellow or pink, depending on the variety. Peaches are a good source of vitamins—such as vitamins C and A—and fiber; they also contain antioxidants that help fight inflammation and promote overall health. Peaches are used to make juices, desserts, and jams, and can also be eaten fresh as a snack.
