A peach is a round stone fruit with juicy yellow flesh and pinkish-yellow skin that can be eaten raw, made into desserts or added to salads. With fuzziness serving as its external texture, internally, the flesh is soft and sweet with a pleasant fruity aroma.
Selecting tips
- Choose peaches that are firm but have some ‘give’ when you gently squeeze them.
- Avoid fruit with blemishes or splits.
Storage tips
- Peaches ripen in cool, dark places.
- Store unripe peaches in a paper bag for up to two days and when ripe refrigerate for up to five days.
