nectarine

About This Food

A nectarine is a smooth-skinned variety of peach, widely enjoyed in many parts of the world. The calories in a nectarine are approximately 68.6. It's a good source of vitamin C, offering antioxidant benefits, and provides dietary fiber, which aids in digestion. Nectarines also contain potassium, an important electrolyte. While generally safe, individuals with stone fruit allergies should avoid them. A moderate intake of 1-2 nectarines per day can be part of a healthy diet. Due to their relatively low calorie and high fiber content, nectarines can be a good choice for weight management. Consider enjoying a half of nectarine as a snack to better manage portion sizes.
