About Peach in syrup

Peaches in syrup are a preserved fruit product made by submerging peeled and often halved or sliced peaches in a sweetened liquid, typically a mixture of water, sugar, and sometimes citric acid for preservation. Originally native to northwest China, peaches have been consumed globally for centuries and are prized in cuisines worldwide, often used in desserts or as a topping. While fresh peaches are a good source of vitamins A and C, peaches in syrup tend to have reduced nutrient density with higher sugar content due to the added syrup. Typically, a 100-gram serving of peaches in syrup provides around 70 calories, 17 grams of carbohydrates, and traces of vitamins and minerals depending on the preparation and brand. They can be a convenient option to enjoy fruit year-round but should be eaten in moderation due to their sugar content.

Health Benefits

• Peaches are a source of vitamin C, which supports a healthy immune system and skin health.
• Rich in antioxidants like beta-carotene, which can help protect cells from oxidative stress.
• Contain dietary fiber, aiding in digestion and supporting gut health, though the fiber content in syrup-packed peaches is often lower than in fresh peaches.
