These summer fruits are prized for their perfume and juiciness. Peaches range in colour from gold to deep red and the flesh can be orange or white.
Peaches and Nectarines are extremely fragile and bruise easily.
Store them in the fridge but bring them back to room temperature before eating.
Benefits:
Much of the vitamin C content of a peach lies in and just under the skin, so eat the fruit with the skin on.
Peach is an excellent source of antioxidant beta carotene, which is said to lower the risk of heart disease and some forms of cancer.
