For some reason after I posted about eggplant 🍆, somehow this fruit was mentioned… 🍑
.
I was like, okay give people what they want – lets talk about the peach 🍑 then , shall we? 🤷🏾‍♀️
.
What is the food item in the picture ?
.
– This is a peach 🍑, part of the stone fruit family which are in season right now in my country 🇿🇦 (Summer season) in my country –
.
They are called stone fruit because their flesh surrounds a shell that houses an edible seed. Friends of plums, nectarines
.
Super nutritious;
1. High in vitamins and minerals just like many fruits 🍑
2. It is packed with plant nutrients & antioxidants 🍑
3. Widely available so a fruit that can be easily incorporated in the diet 🍑
.
Do you eat peaches 🍑 or you last see them as emojis 😂🤣? Or somehow you fear their “sugar”?
.
Fear NOT – Fruits are perfectly fine to eat as part of our diet – they contribute to the recommended 5-a-day 🤚🏽
.
True story when I see an emoji of this fruit 🍑, I salivate & reminisce on how sweet & delicious it is. Love stone fruit season! 🍑
.

Lets all share love, laughter & kindness this day – Travel mercies to those attending this year’s edition of #mensconference ❤️
