Did you know that August is National Peach Month? The title was given by former President Ronald Reagan back in 1982. It’s easy to see why a whole month was given to peaches, they’re juicy, aromatic, remarkably sweet, rich with vitamins A & C and natural fiber. Peaches have a long history dating back to 6000 B.C. in ancient China. During that time, peaches were considered a luxury food, primarily eaten by emperors and royalty. The sweet fruit gradually made its way across the world through trade and gifting, and eventually landed in the Americas around the 1500’s by way of Christopher Columbus. Whether they’re enjoyed as a snack, blended into a fruit smoothie, or baked into a yummy treat or lightly grilled and served with a scoop of ice cream, there are so many ways to enjoy a peach.
