Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between freestone and clingstone peaches?
In freestone peaches, the flesh separates easily from the pit—ideal for eating fresh or baking. Clingstone flesh clings to the pit and is often used for canning. Freestones are more common at farmers markets and grocery stores.
Can I eat peach skin?
Yes! Peach skin is edible and contains extra fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. The fuzzy texture is harmless. If you prefer smooth skin, nectarines are essentially fuzz-free peaches with similar nutrition.
Why are my peaches mealy?
Mealiness results from improper cold storage—peaches stored cold too long before ripening develop this unpleasant texture. Choose peaches that were allowed to ripen before refrigeration, or buy from local sources.
