Seasonal White Peach

White-fleshed peaches have a velvety texture that is easily bruised and releases juice when touched. Whether they are firm or soft, they offer a delightful taste. The ripe white peach boasts tender flesh with a delightful floral fragrance and a naturally sweet flavour, making them a timeless and wholesome dessert choice. STORAGE You can tell if a peach is ripe or not by gently yet firmly squeezing it with your fingertips. But not so much that you bruise the skin or poke a hole in it. If the peach is as hard as a baseball, it was harvested too early. If it is firm and gives a little, like a tennis ball, it will take a little longer to reach its wonderful ripeness. Leave the peach on the kitchen counter for another day or two until it is soft. FUN FACTS & TIPS Did you know that the low-acid, white-fleshed peaches are more popular in Singapore, China, Japan and other neighbouring Asian countries, while the sour, yellow-fleshed varieties are traditionally preferred by Europeans and North Americans? Moreover, peaches differ not only in colour, but also in the way their pits separate from the flesh. With Clingstone, the flesh sticks to the pit. With Freestone, the pit separates easily from the pulp.
