COOKING TIPS
In the kitchen.
- 1Serve as a ready-to-eat dessert, either warm or cold. They are excellent toppings for yogurt, oatmeal, ice cream, and pancakes.
- 2Incorporate into baked goods like pies, cobblers, or muffins. Reduce the recipe's sugar content to account for the sweetness of the stewed fruit.
- 3Use in savory dishes to add a sweet counterpoint to meats like pork or chicken, or blend them into a chutney or sauce.
- 4The sulfuring process can cause allergic-type reactions in sensitive individuals, particularly those with asthma. Rinsing before use may help reduce sulfite levels, but will also wash away flavor.
STORAGE
Keep it fresh.
- Store unopened packages in a cool, dark, and dry place, such as a pantry, for up to one year.
- Once opened, transfer the stewed peaches and their liquid to an airtight container and refrigerate. Consume within 7-10 days for optimal quality.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Are stewed sulfured dehydrated peaches healthy?
Yes, they are a nutrient-dense fruit option. They provide significant dietary fiber for digestion, potassium for heart health, and Vitamin A for immune support, though they are more calorie-dense than fresh peaches due to the dehydration process.
How many calories and carbs are in a 100g serving?
A 100g serving of stewed dehydrated peaches contains approximately 78 calories and 20.5g of carbohydrates. Most of these carbs come from natural sugars and fiber, providing a quick and sustained energy boost.
What does 'sulfured' mean in these peaches?
Sulfured means the peaches were treated with sulfur dioxide during the drying process to preserve their bright orange color and prevent spoilage. While safe for most people, those with asthma or specific sulfite sensitivities should be cautious or choose unsulfured varieties.
Are stewed dehydrated peaches vegan and gluten-free?
Yes, stewed dehydrated peaches are naturally vegan and gluten-free. They consist only of fruit, water used for stewing, and the sulfur used for preservation, making them suitable for plant-based and celiac-friendly diets.
Are these peaches suitable for a keto or low-carb diet?
No, they are generally not keto-friendly. With 20.5g of carbs per 100g, the concentrated natural sugars in dehydrated fruit can easily exceed the daily carb limits required to maintain ketosis.
How do you stew dehydrated peaches?
To stew them, place the dehydrated peaches in a pot and cover them with water or fruit juice. Simmer on low heat for 20-30 minutes until they are plump and tender; you can add spices like cinnamon or a touch of sweetener if desired.
What are the main health benefits of eating these peaches?
They are excellent for digestive regularity due to high fiber content and support heart health through potassium. Additionally, the Vitamin A and beta-carotene content helps maintain healthy vision and a strong immune system.
How should I store stewed peaches and how long do they last?
Once stewed, the peaches should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will typically stay fresh and safe to eat for 5 to 7 days.
Can I freeze stewed dehydrated peaches?
Yes, you can freeze them in a freezer-safe container or heavy-duty freezer bag for up to 6 months. Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before using them in yogurt, oatmeal, or desserts.
What is the difference in taste between fresh and stewed dehydrated peaches?
Stewed dehydrated peaches have a much more concentrated, intense peach flavor and a soft, jam-like texture compared to fresh peaches. The stewing process rehydrates them, making them tender while retaining the deep sweetness of the dried fruit.
