Featured Recipe: Miranda Malisani’s Peach Walnut Crumble

August 16, 2019

There may be no other fruit that has more expressions, quotes and lyrics dedicated to it then the peach. They’ve been celebrated in popular culture and in creative works by everyone from Timbaland, to the Steve Miller Band, to Margaret Atwood and Roald Dahl.

It’s not surprising that the peach is so adored as there is no other comparison to the sweet and juicy ripe prunus persica (scientific name). What might surprise you is that there are over 2000 varieties of peaches in the world. 

Our Organic Ontario peaches are from Niagara and they are absolutely perfect right now. 

Peaches are not only a delicious summer snack, but will provide your body Vitamin C, Vitamin A, potassium, magnesium, calcium and the flavonoids, zeaxanthin, lutein and cryptoxanthin. These nutrients are helpful for supporting the immune system, eye health and the cardiovascular system. 

There are endless ways to incorporate peaches into your recipes, and this is one of my favourite peach recipes:
