Nutritional Profile Peach powder retains many of the nutrients found in fresh peaches, including:
Vitamins: High in vitamin C (an antioxidant that supports immunity and collagen synthesis) and vitamin A (from beta-carotene, which promotes eye health and skin integrity). It also contains small amounts of B vitamins, such as niacin and pantothenic acid.
Minerals: Rich in potassium (aids in regulating blood pressure and fluid balance) and contains trace amounts of magnesium, calcium, and iron.
Dietary Fiber: Includes both soluble and insoluble fiber, which supports digestive health and helps maintain a feeling of fullness.
Antioxidants: Contains compounds like chlorogenic acid and catechins, which combat oxidative stress and reduce cellular damage.
Natural Sugars: Derived from the fruit’s inherent sweetness (fructose and glucose), contributing to its pleasant taste without added sugars in pure formulations.、
