With their sweet, juicy flesh, peaches are a gourmet’s delight.
How to choose
When ripe, peaches are soft and give off a heady fragrance that hints at the taste to come. They should also be free from spots and bruises. And remember, the colour of their flesh makes no difference to their taste and is not a sign of ripeness!
How to store
Above all, don’t put them in the refrigerator! They will lose their flavour and become mealy. Keep them in a fruit bowl in a cool place and eat within two days of purchase.
How to eat
Delicious as they are to eat as is, peaches are also remarkable in marmalade, salads, desserts and even grilled on the barbecue!
