Varieties in Late May

You have probably started noticing much better quality peaches at the market as the domestic crop is now being harvested.  All of the winter peaches you saw were from the Southern Hemisphere as their season is exactly the opposite of ours.

If you have ever had an undesirable peach eating experience don’t give up yet. Learn how to pick the perfect peach by knowing what kind of peach you are looking at. There are hundreds of different varieties that each have their own color, shape and taste. Look at the PLU sticker or the in store point-of-sale to see what variety is available. Then buy ‘em try ‘em and repeat until you find the variety that’s right for you.
