The strengths of the peach are its content in betacarotene (provitamin A) and vitamins C and E, of which it provides significant amounts (300 g, two pieces, cover 23% of the daily requirement of vitamin A, 50% of vitamin C and 15% of vitamin E)
As for minerals, it provides potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and iron, which make it a good diuretic (potassium) and anti-anemic (iron)
Its fiber (2%), mostly soluble, helps to maintain low cholesterol levels and exerts a laxative power; while the presence of B vitamins makes it a good calming of the nervous system
The water content of peaches is very high, about 87% of its weight. And its fats, practically null. These two circumstances, lots of water and little fat, explain its low caloric value, which provides between 35 and 45 calories per 100 g
Sugars (carbohydrates), of the order of 9%, are its most important nutrient from a quantitative point of view and are responsible for its sweetness
As with all fresh fruits, the protein value of peaches is low, at 0.7%
