Peach Fruit Slice Dried

What Dried Peach Slices Contain

• Vitamins:
• Vitamin A (from beta-carotene) → vision & skin health.
• Vitamin C (reduced after drying, but still present) → immunity & collagen.
• Minerals: Potassium, magnesium, and iron.
• Dietary Fiber: Supports digestion and satiety.
• Antioxidants: Polyphenols & carotenoids help fight oxidative stress.
• Natural sugars: Higher concentration than fresh peach (more energy-dense).

Health Benefits

• Digestive Support: Fiber helps regulate bowel movements and supports the gut microbiome.
• Heart Health:
• Potassium supports blood pressure regulation.
• Fiber helps reduce cholesterol absorption.
• Skin & Eye Health: Beta-carotene (provitamin A) supports healthy skin and vision.
• Energy Boost: Concentrated natural sugars make it a quick, healthy snack.
• Bone & Muscle Support: Magnesium and potassium support muscle function and bone density.

How to Use Dried Peach Slices

• Snack: Eat directly as a chewy, sweet snack.
• Trail Mix: Combine with nuts and seeds for an energy-packed mix.
• Baking: Use in muffins, cakes, granola, or cookies.
• Breakfast bowls: Chop into oatmeal, cereal, or yogurt.
• Rehydration: Soak in warm water for a softer texture (good for desserts).

Precautions

• Sugar content: Naturally higher in dried form (sometimes even more if sugar-coated). Good to check if you want unsweetened versions.
• Portion control: 1cup of dried peaches = 3–4cups of fresh peaches in calories and sugar.
• Sulfites: Some commercial dried fruits contain sulfites (for preservation), which may trigger allergies/asthma in sensitive people.

✅ Typical Serving

• 30–40g (a small handful) per day is a healthy snack portion.
