About Peach nectar
Peach nectar is a sweet, thick juice made primarily from peaches, often combined with sugar and water. Originating from regions where peaches are cultivated, such as China (where peaches are native) and widely enjoyed in European and Latin American cuisines, peach nectar is a popular beverage and ingredient. Nutritionally, it provides a source of carbohydrates, including natural sugars, and small amounts of vitamins like vitamin C and vitamin A. While not as nutrient-rich as whole peaches due to added sugar or processing, peach nectar retains some bioactive compounds found in peaches, such as antioxidants like beta-carotene. It's known for being hydrating and offering a mildly acidic, fruity flavor perfect for beverages, desserts, and marinades.
Health Benefits
- Rich in vitamin C, which supports immune health and collagen synthesis.
- Contains beta-carotene, providing antioxidant properties and contributing to eye health.
- Provides hydration due to its high water content, supporting overall bodily functions.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage

Common Questions About Peach nectar Nutrition
Is peach nectar high in protein?
Peach nectar is very low in protein, containing less than 1 gram per 100 ml. It is primarily a source of carbohydrates and natural sugars rather than protein.
Can I drink peach nectar on a keto diet?
Peach nectar is not suitable for a keto diet due to its high sugar content. A typical 240 ml serving contains around 25-30 grams of carbohydrates, primarily from sugars, which would exceed the daily carb limit for most keto plans.
What are the health benefits or concerns of drinking peach nectar?
Peach nectar provides vitamin C and small amounts of vitamin A, which support immune health and eye health. However, it is often high in added sugars if not made from 100% fruit, which can be a concern for weight management and blood sugar control.
How much peach nectar should I drink in a day?
A serving size of peach nectar is typically 1 cup (about 240 ml). Enjoy it in moderation, especially if it contains added sugar; substituting with 100% peach juice can be a healthier option to limit added sugar intake.
How does peach nectar compare to fresh peaches?
Fresh peaches are lower in calories and sugar compared to peach nectar and provide more fiber. For example, one medium peach has around 60 calories and 13 grams of sugar, while 1 cup of peach nectar has over 100 calories and 25-30 grams of sugar due to added sweeteners.
