It allows diabetics to enjoy the sweet taste of peaches without worrying about their sugar intake. Additionally, peaches are a low-glycemic fruit, meaning they have a minimal impact on blood sugar levels. They are also rich in dietary fiber, which slows down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream. Fresh basil enhances the flavor and provides a good dose of vitamins and antioxidants.
