　　The peach fruit is delicious in taste and rich in nutrients, making it one of people’s most beloved fresh fruits. In addition to being eaten fresh, it can also be processed into peach preserves, peach jam, peach juice, dried peaches, and canned peaches. Many parts of the peach tree have medicinal properties; its roots, leaves, flowers, and kernels can be used in traditional medicine to relieve coughs, improve blood circulation, and aid bowel movements. Peach kernels contain 45% oil, which can be extracted for industrial use, and the hard shells of the pits can be made into activated carbon — a versatile industrial material.
