Honey Peach Pie

Peaches are a wonderfully hydrating and mineral rich fruit that are easy to digest and rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C, iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and bioflavonoids. They have powerful anti-inflammatory properties and are especially beneficial for sinus issues, arthritis, high blood pressure, IBS, constipation, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, acne, nervous system issues, migraines, eye sight issues, and strengthening the immune system. They are also very supportive for the body during pregnancy and a wonderful healing food for children as well. 

It’s hard to improve upon the simple perfection of a peach, but this recipe is a great way to change things up. A coconut date crust studded with lemon zest and mint encases a sunrise of sliced peaches tossed in honey. Enjoy this one out on the porch during those long summer evenings surrounded by friends and family.
