With a glycemic index of 42 and a glycemic load of only 5, this puree causes a slow, modest rise in blood glucose. The 1.3g fiber per 100g slows sugar absorption, but the 11.5g sugar still contributes to daily intake—about 23% of the recommended limit for added sugars, though this is naturally occurring.
Each 100g provides 195mg potassium (4% DV) and 83.65g water, supporting fluid balance and nerve signaling. Potassium helps counteract sodium's effects on blood pressure, but the amount is too low to have a significant impact unless consumed in large volumes.
With only 0.94g protein and 0.33g fat per 100g, this puree lacks the macronutrients needed to promote fullness. The 271kJ (about 65 kcal) per 100g comes almost entirely from carbs, so you may feel hungry soon after eating, leading to overconsumption if used as a snack.
Verdict
Daily consumption is fine as part of a varied diet, but it should not replace whole peaches or other protein/fat sources. Its low glycemic load makes it a better choice than sugary snacks, but the high sugar-to-fiber ratio means portion control matters.
