Peach Slices

Peach slices are pieces of the fruit of the peach tree (Prunus persica). They can be fresh, canned, or frozen. Canned peaches are typically packed in syrup or juice, while frozen peaches are often flash-frozen to preserve their texture and flavor.

Manufacturers use peach slices primarily for their natural sweetness and fruity flavor. They are a common ingredient in fruit pies, pastries, cobblers, yogurt, and canned fruit mixes. Peach slices can also be used to add moisture and flavor to baked goods and desserts.

Peach slices are a natural food product and are generally recognized as safe by the FDA. They are a source of vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated peaches and their components. At typical consumption levels, they are considered a healthy part of a balanced diet.
