Peaches are juicy and aromatic fruits appreciated for their sweet taste and soft texture. They belong to the Rosaceae family and are closely related to walnuts and almonds.

These summer fruits have a distinctive velvety skin, which can vary from yellow and orange to red, depending on the variety and degree of ripeness. Peaches are divided into two main categories according to their relationship with the core: peaches with adherent pulp, in which the pulp remains attached to the core, and peaches with free pulp, in which the pulp easily detaches from the core.

The flesh of peaches can be white, yellow or pinkish, with a taste that varies from sweet to sweet-sour. They are juicy fruits, ideal for eating fresh, but they can also be used in a variety of recipes, such as desserts, cakes, jams, and even in savory dishes.

From a nutritional point of view, peaches are a good source of vitamin C, B vitamins and minerals such as potassium. They are also rich in fiber and antioxidants, which can help promote overall health.

Peaches are grown in warm temperate regions and are particularly associated with the summer months, when they are at their peak of freshness and flavor. Their sweet taste, soft texture and inviting scent make them an extremely popular and beloved fruit.
