Description

Peach slices are thin and uniform slices of peach, a juicy and sweet fruit highly valued in cooking for its delicate flavor and soft texture. The peach originally comes from China, where it was cultivated thousands of years ago, and is now widely grown in various temperate and subtropical countries.

Peach slices are commonly used in recipes for desserts, salads, jams, pies, and also in savory preparations to add a sweet and fresh touch. They are ideal for accompanying yogurts, ice creams, or as an ingredient in baked dishes.

Among its properties, the peach provides vitamins A and C, natural antioxidants, dietary fiber, and a low caloric content, contributing to a healthy diet.

In different regions of Latin America, the peach is also known as "melocotón", although durazno is the most commonly used term in countries like Mexico, Chile, Peru, and Argentina.
