Food Holidays for this date:
- National Peaches & Cream Day (June 21)
Peaches and cream (also known as peaches'n cream) is a simple, traditionally summertime dessert consisting of sliced peaches, whipped cream, and other ingredients, popular in the United States (especially the South) and other countries. As a dessert, peaches and cream is relatively healthy, since it is made up of raw, low-calorie, vitamin rich fruit.
It is sometimes served at ice cream stands and float shops. Many types of hard candy, such as Creme Savers, also come in a peaches and cream flavor.
It's traditional to serve peaches and cream on this date.
