Peaches contain many important nutrients
including: vitamin A, in the form of beta carotene, which has
been linked to a reduced risk of some forms of cancer; and
riboflavin which is good for the eyes. They are an excellent
source of fiber, and peaches are one of the lowest-calorie
fruits, with virtually no fat, sodium or cholesterol.
