peaches
Organic
peaches are at the top of the list of fruits to choose
organic. Peaches, with their delicate skin,
are one of the fruits most heavily exposed to toxins and chemicals
during their production.
They are one of the hardest fruits to grow,
even under good conditions. Conventional farmers use many synthetic
methods to produce the ideal environment for growing peaches. There are
45
different pesticides that are regularly
applied to peaches in conventional orchards.
Peaches are not easy to grow, so when you find the organic variety in your
local market, take advantage of the opportunity.
The nutritional benefits
of peaches are many. Peaches are high
in fiber. They are also high in Vitamins A, C, and E.
They also contain calcium, unlike many fruits. They are known to help
ease dry coughs and relieve constipation. One medium peach contains
only about 50 calories, less than the 60 calories in a medium apple. By
choosing organic peaches, you will reap all of the
benefits of this valuable fruit.
