\"PeachesOver 30 years ago, Ronald Reagan proclaimed August to be \u201cPeach Month\u201d, and Georgia rejoiced. He wanted to encourage all Americans to incorporate this fine fuzzy fruit into their mouths. Now that we’re closing out August, peaches are peaking at\u00a0Farmer\u2019s markets, with their little farmers markety baskets of these lovely fragrant cousins of the rose.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like the rose, they are beautiful and fragrant. Unlike the rose, they’re not fussy difficult plants perched on what basically amounts to a sticker bush. Peaches were revered in China as a symbol of longevity, and now we have nutritional support that backs this up. The Chinese totally knew stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example. A single peach has contains 20% of all the Vitamin C you need in a day, along with Vitamin A, E, K, Niacin, and many other nutrients. <\/span>Its carotenes help prevent cancers, it\u2019s whopping 333mg of potassium can help control blood pressure, and it\u2019s a great source of fiber. By the way, all this nutritional goodness weighs in at only 68 calories.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"GrilledPoom … there’s your One-A-Day right there. So e<\/span>at a peach. Do it today. Put down your phone and go get one and incorporate it into your mouth.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And if you don’t know where a Farmers Market is and don’t understand the whole Google thing, here’s a link to all US Farmers Markets<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

By the way, the pic to the left is basically just grilled peaches. Okay, there’s a grilled\u00a0cod on the plate along with an awesome summer salad of greenery and goat cheese. But seriously split the peaches in half, take out the seed (duh), and smear a little sesame oil on the cut side if you have it. If you don’t, no worries. Then toss on the grill over\u00a0a medium high flame. When the flesh gets sticky, it’s ready. \u00a0You don’t hear THAT phrase every day!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
