Freestone Diced Peaches in 100% Fruit Juice
What it is
These are diced peaches packed in their own natural fruit juice, not syrup. The peaches are freestone, meaning the pit easily separates from the flesh. This makes them convenient for immediate use or preparation. The fruit juice provides a light sweetness and helps preserve the peaches' texture and flavor. They are a simple way to enjoy fruit year-round.
How people cook with it

- Blended into smoothies
Open the can and drain the juice if desired, or use it as part of the recipe. The diced peaches can be added directly to your favorite breakfast items like oatmeal or pancakes. They are also excellent in baked goods such as muffins, cobblers, or pies, providing moisture and a fruity flavor. For a refreshing treat, mix them into a fruit salad or blend them into a smoothie for added sweetness and texture. They require no further preparation beyond opening the can.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike peaches packed in heavy syrup, these are preserved in 100% fruit juice. This results in a less intensely sweet product with a more natural peach flavor. The freestone variety also means the peaches are easier to handle and prepare compared to clingstone varieties.

How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused portion in a covered container. It is best to consume the remaining peaches within a few days of opening the can to maintain their freshness and quality. Avoid storing opened cans at room temperature.
