When are Peaches in Season?
- Summer
Peaches are a summer fruit, known for their fuzzy skin and yellow, white, or red flesh color. Placing unripe fruit in a brown paper bag at room temperature can speed up the ripening process. Once ripe, store peaches in the refrigerator. Peaches can be baked, broiled, sautéed, or grilled.
Fun fact: Peach fuzz helps protect the fruit from bugs and water damage.
