I love the market in summertime and try to look for something different to tickle my tastebuds each week. Today, I opted for some 'melocotones paraguayos', also
known as donut or flat peaches. Low in calories with no saturated fats, yet full of natural sweetness, peaches are a perfect treat. What is more, they are packed with healthy minerals and vitamins, including high levels of Vitamin A, aiding healthy vision, and Vitamin C, an antioxidant and tissue-builder. They also contain plenty of potassium for
maintaining healthy blood pressure and antioxidants for reducing body inflammation amongst other benefits. Peaches are also a good source of fibre, helping to ease digestion and regulate cholesterol.
For a delicious, healthy dessert, try grilling halved peaches under a low heat for a few minutes
on each side until soft, then add a dollop of yogurt with cinnamon, and finish by drizzling some honey over the top. Yum!
