Fresh Rec Stop Recipe: Peach Pico de Gallo
By Garrett Simpson, NASM-CNC, Community Health Leader
Peach Pico de Gallo is a hydrating, low-calorie snack ideal for hot summer months due to the high water content of peaches and tomatoes.
- Peaches are a fantastic source of vitamins A and C, powerful antioxidants that support immune function and protect against oxidative stress.
- Tomatoes, rich in lycopene, help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, while the fiber in peaches, tomatoes, and onions promotes healthy digestion.
This dish also provides a good dose of potassium, essential for maintaining healthy blood pressure levels. Additionally, jalapeños add capsaicin, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, making Peach Pico de Gallo a nutritious and delicious addition to any meal.
