Peaches and nectarines provide very good sources of carotenes, potassium,
flavonoids, and natural sugars.
They are good sources of lycopene and lutein. Lutein gives the red, orange, and
yellow colors to fruits and vegetables. These phytochemicals are especially beneficial
in the prevention of heart disease, macular degeneration, and cancer.
