White Peaches

Greetings:

I continue to try new things as I suggested in one of my recent Days. My newest discovery is the White Peach. This is my favorite time of year because there is so much delicious produce available and so many varieties. I personally had never heard of the White Peach, although through research I have discovered that they aren't really new. I don't know if I would say it is really white, just lighter than the yellow peaches I am use to. It is sweeter and smaller. According to Mac's Pride:

"Yellow peaches have yellow meat. White peaches have white meat. They do have a difference in taste. White peaches have lower acid levels and higher sugar levels. White peaches are also more fragile. They bruise easier and ripen faster. Most people are familiar with yellow peaches since this is what grocery stores most often carry."

Also Mac's Pride (which will ship produce to you) list several dozen varieties of Peaches. Who knew?

I still think the produce department is the best place on earth to try new things. There are endless possibilities.
