Peaches may be the perfect frozen fruit — with their lush pink and golden-hued skin, that wonderful fuzzy texture, and juicy sweet flesh and tart acidic bite. But sadly, the window when you can buy peaches that are locally grown and at the peak of ripeness is super short — a month or two max in most parts of the United States. That's why frozen peaches are such a great alternative and something everybody should always keep on hand.
Peaches tend to be harvested at their ultimate ripeness and frozen almost immediately after they're processed. That not only helps to preserve their incredible flavor but also locks in tons of nutrients. In fact, frozen peaches might be a better source of vitamin C than the fresh version of the fruit!
Frozen peaches also have a more consistent, ripe flavor than their fresh counterparts. That's because the fresh version of the fruit is often picked before its fully ripe in order to make it safely to grocery store shelves before spoiling. And perhaps best of all — frozen peaches come washed and pre-pitted so there's significantly less prep work however you want to use them, whether you're making a peach cobbler, peach pie, or throwing together a quick peach smoothie as part of your morning breakfast routine.
Plus, while canned peaches are also readily available, frozen peaches don't come with all that added sugar — another big win.
