Sweet Summer Peaches

Did you know that August is National Peach Month? The tradition started back in 1982 by former President Ronald Reagan. Not only are peaches particularly juicy and remarkably sweet, they’re also a rich source of vitamins A & C and natural fiber. Peaches have a long history, dating back to 6000 B.C. in ancient China, where it was considered a luxury food, primarily eaten by emperors and royalty. The sweet fruit made its way around the world over the centuries, and eventually landed in the Americas around the 1500’s thanks to explorers like Christopher Columbus. Celebrate National Peach Month by enjoying a fresh peach as a snack, lightly grilled and served with a scoop of ice cream, diced up for a fruit smoothie or baked into a homemade pie or cobbler. Stop by Bianchini’s produce department throughout August to find fresh peaches and so much more.
