Research suggests peaches may help detox your body naturally.(1)
Nectarines are a good source of antioxidant vitamin A, which promotes healthy aging.
Tips from Daniel Jackson, co-owner-operator, Family Tree Farms.
How to Select
For peaches and nectarines, color is the best indicator of maturity. Look for background colors of yellow or orange, avoiding hints of green.
How to Store
Stone fruit is best enjoyed within a few days of purchase. To ripen, a fruit bowl is just as effective as a paper bag and looks much nicer in your home.
