This study aims to evaluate the effect of different peach varieties on the glycemic index (GI) in healthy adult participants. While peaches are generally classified as low-GI fruits, variations in sugar composition, fiber content, and ripeness among different cultivars may influence their glycemic response. By assessing and comparing the GI values of several commonly consumed peach varieties, this trial seeks to provide more precise dietary recommendations for glycemic control and support better fruit selection for individuals managing blood glucose levels.

Participants will consume a standardized portion of peach variety A containing 50 grams of available carbohydrates. Capillary blood glucose levels will be measured at multiple time points post-consumption to assess glycemic response.
Participants will consume a standardized portion of peach variety B containing 50 grams of available carbohydrates. Capillary blood glucose levels will be measured at multiple time points post-consumption to assess glycemic response.
Participants will consume a standardized portion of peach variety C containing 50 grams of available carbohydrates. Capillary blood glucose levels will be measured at multiple time points post-consumption to assess glycemic response.

Glycemic Index
Participants will consume a standardized portion of a peach variety containing 50 grams of available carbohydrates. Capillary blood glucose levels will be measured at multiple time points post-consumption to assess glycemic response.
Time frame: 2 hours post-consumption (per intervention)
Incremental Area Under the Curve (iAUC) for Blood Glucose
The iAUC will be calculated for each intervention using the trapezoidal method, excluding values below baseline. This helps quantify the glycemic response.
Time frame: 0-120 minutes post-consumption
Peak Blood Glucose Concentration
The highest recorded blood glucose concentration during the 2-hour postprandial period following consumption of each intervention.
Time frame: 0-120 minutes post-consumption
