You sure can! In fact, it’s my preferred way. The skin on frozen peaches is fine to eat—I like to keep it on for smoothies. And if you want peeled peaches, just run the frozen peaches under water for a few seconds, and the skin should slip right off. Are there different kinds of peaches? Our Fresh deliveries arrive Tuesday - Thursday, with Tuesday being a small delivery and Wednesday and Thursday have large deliveries of fresh items. Research has shown that there is a link between eating apples regularly and a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, and diabetes. Don’t store fruit and veg together. Many fruit, such as bananas, avocados and peaches, produce ethylene gas, which acts like a ripening hormone and can speed up the ripening process of other produce. 7. Storage solution

Peach sorbet. Our Peach and White Wine Sorbet is a light and refreshing dessert to try this summer. Strawberries and other colorful berries also contain a flavonoid called quercetin. This is a natural anti-inflammatory compound. Chop any leftover herbs and store in an ice cube tray, fill with water and place them in the freezer. When you’re ready to use them, just pop as many cubes as you need into your cooking. Soft herbs like parsley, coriander, dill, mint and basil can be stored upright at room temperature in a glass with cool water. Unsweetened 100% fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies can only ever count as a maximum of 1 portion of your 5 A Day.

Look out! There’s another ethylene gas producer on the loose. When placed into the fridge, however, gas production stops – and the ripening process along with it. So, to keep their flavour and their texture, store them in a paper bag at room temperature. This way, those lovely melons can continue to ripen, build up nutrients and stay fresher for longer. Buy Under-ripe Fruit and Leave It On the Countertop Research discussed in this review also suggests that pomegranates may restrict the growth of human prostate cancer cells. In particular, watermelon is one of the top sources of lycopene, a carotenoid that gives watermelon its pink-red color.

Apples are high fiber fruits, meaning that eating them could boost heart health and promote weight loss. The pectin in apples helps to maintain good gut health. Refrigeration also slows down the chemical reactions that would otherwise take away all the sweet, juicy goodness.

A portion of dried fruit is around 30g. This is about 1 heaped tablespoon of raisins, currants or sultanas, 1 tablespoon of mixed fruit, 2 figs, 3 prunes or 1 handful of dried banana chips. Although they don't count towards your 5 A Day, potatoes do play an important role in your diet as a starchy food. O'Neil CE, et al. (2015). Consumption of apples is associated with a better diet quality and reduced risk of obesity in children: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003–2010. Keeping fruit unripe is just a matter of keeping it in a cool place – much like how fruit is transported to avoid it ripening too soon. The fridge is a great spot to store fruit you’re trying to keep fresh for as long as possible. Freeze Fruit You’re Not Using Straight Away If apples are not for you, perhaps you would prefer to choose one of our varieties of avocados - a wonderful source of heart-healthy fats and full of vitamins C, K, folate and B6. These healthy fats have been shown to dramatically boost fertility, for more information on the health benefits of avocados (and some great recipe ideas) have a look at this article.When fruit is blended or juiced, it releases the sugars. This increases the risk of tooth decay, so it's best to drink fruit juice or smoothies at mealtimes. And try some fruit on top of a bowl of ice cream for a combination of summer and winter that will blow your tastebuds away. Or throw some on top of your wheat biscuit cereal for a more exciting breakfast. And we’ve got enough fruit for you to be able to have a different meal every day. One pomegranate also contains 46.2 micrograms (mcg) of vitamin K. This vitamin is essential for strong bones and healthy blood cells. Using a slotted spoon or sieve, fish out the peaches and immediately plunge into the bowl of ice water. Your mandarins are mushy, and your peaches are past their prime but don’t worry. All is not lost just yet. There’s still time to use up overripe fruit and make something delicious at the same time. From jams to crumbles, here are a few ways to stop that perfectly imperfect produce from going to waste.

As a rough guide, 1 portion is the amount they can fit in the palm of their hand. 5 A Day fruit portions Small fresh fruit We do have some produce that is only ever sourced from the UK – this is labelled on the product name as such – you can find them here. Medical News Today has strict sourcing guidelines and draws only from peer-reviewed studies, academic research institutions, and medical journals and associations. We avoid using tertiary references. We link primary sources — including studies, scientific references, and statistics — within each article and also list them in the resources section at the bottom of our articles. You can learn more about how we ensure our content is accurate and current by reading our editorial policy. Fruit should look fresh and appetising. Choose fruit that's plump, firm, heavy for its size and unwrinkled. Smell is often a good indication of ripeness too, as is gently applying pressure to the fruit - there should be some give. Avoid any fruit that has signs of mould or wetness and make sure the skin isn't bruised, split, broken or damaged by insects. Don't be put off buying odd-looking or uneven-shaped fruit - sometimes they taste even better than the picture-perfect ones selected by supermarkets. Avocados, tomatoes, mangoes, melons, apples and pears will continue to ripen if left out on a countertop, whereas fruits such as grapes, citrus and berries will only deteriorate and should be refrigerated. 8. Ripe and ready

We only buy organic unless there is no organic version available or we have a particularly good local supplier. Our mushrooms and a couple of speciality items are wild-foraged (generally Scotland although the Country of Origin is UK to comply with EU standards of labelling). We buy in soft fruits from a local supplier throughout the summer months to decrease food miles and ensure top quality. All fresh fruit and vegetables are clearly labelled to show if they are organic or wild-foraged. Researchers believe that the flavonoids in lemon and other citrus fruits have antibacterial, anticancer, and antidiabetic properties. I was curious if Ball Fruit-Fresh slowed down the browning process on fresh guacamole. I was a tad skeptical, so I did my own experiment! Because frozen and tinned fruit and veg keep for ages and you only use what you need it means they're less likely to be thrown away and wasted.
