Positively Peachy!

My husband and I went peach picking today. He did anyway. I stood and watched as the June bugs swirled around him. A good friend of ours invited us to glean peaches from her abundant peach tree. We are very grateful. 

Peaches have been known as a food that is easy to assimilate and can be used to regulate the bowels. They have an alkalizing effect to the blood stream and help eliminate toxins from the body. I have read that the dried peach is more alkalizing than the fresh. I think I will be drying some soon!

It is best to pick the peaches ripe on the tree because they don't contain the necessary starches to assist with the sweetening process after picked. Sadly, as you can see in this picture, we picked a few green peaches.
