| Product Detail: |
Reference is made to the cultivated fruit in Egyptian records dating 3400 years ago, and it is thought to have been introduced to Greece by Alexander the Great.
The fruit is produced from freestone varieties of peaches, which are halved before drying. They offer a good source of Vitamin A, Vitamin B3 (niacin), potassium, phosphorus, beta carotene, iron and copper. While wonderfully sweet and juicy peaches do not keep or store well when fresh. Thus, dried peaches have been gaining popularity. New uses are continually arising as manufacturers find new applications for this very popular fruit. Bedemco sources the best dried peaches throughout the world for the North American market at the most competitive prices for all sizes. |
