Georgia peaches are packed with natural
goodness. They’re not only delicious, but
incredibly nutritious. Several major nutrients,
including vitamins A (beta-carotene), C and potassium
are packed into each Georgia peach. They’re
also an excellent source of fiber, good for blood
sugar and keeping cholesterol low. And, a real
plus for calorie counters, a medium-size Georgia
peach contains only 38 calories, fewer than comparable-sized
apples or pears.
In addition to being low-calorie, like all fruits
and vegetables, Georgia peaches are cholesterol-free.
Another plus: Georgia peaches are especially filling.
Their 87 percent water content makes them a perfect
between meal snack. But there’s more. Georgia
peaches also provide natural plant compounds called
flavonoids, which research suggests may help prevent
cancer and heart disease. So enjoy a Georgia peach!
You’ll be on your way to better health by
