Peaches, dried

Dried peaches are peach flesh with the stones removed and much of the water taken out by drying. They mainly provide carbohydrate, along with minerals including potassium and iron. Per 100g, they contain 53g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugars, 1100mg of potassium and 6.8mg of iron.

Drying concentrates the sugars naturally present in the fruit, which is relevant for people monitoring carbohydrate or sugar intake. Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function, while iron is needed to make haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen around the body.
