What are the common peach varieties and their characteristics?

As the saying goes, "Peaches nourish people, apricots harm them." Peaches are a common fruit, with juicy flesh and a good taste. Peach trees can be planted all over our country, and in the north, peach trees hibernate for a longer time and sprout later. Early-maturing peach varieties in the north generally ripen around July, while early-maturing peach varieties in the south ripen as early as the end of May, and peach varieties that ripen in July are called mid-maturing varieties in the south. So what varieties of common peaches are there?

1. Flat peach

The fruit is ovate, broadly elliptical, or oblate in shape, juicy and fragrant, sweet or sweet-and-sour.

2. Honey peach

Honey peach has very thin skin and abundant flesh, and is relatively suitable for eating fresh. Just-ripe peaches are firm and sweet, while fully ripe peaches are soft and juicy. The main producing areas are Fenghua, Nanhui, Longquanyi, Shangping, and Muyang.

3. Yellow peach

Since childhood, I have especially loved canned yellow peaches. Yanling County, Hunan Province, has been rated as "China's Hometown of High-Quality Yellow Peaches."

4. Eagle-beak peach

The skin color is bright and light green, and the flesh is white with red near the pit, and the flesh does not separate from the pit. The fruit has a crisp, refreshing texture and tastes as sweet as honey.

5. Nectarine

Nectarine is so called because its surface is as smooth as oil and hairless, just like the surface of apples and plums. It is fragrant, sweet, and crisp all at once.

6. Crisp peach

Crisp peach is large and red, with tender skin, crisp flesh, and a rich peach fragrance.

7. Blood peach

When you bite open a blood peach, the flesh inside is blood-streaked red, like the red blood vessels on the body, strand by strand, and even the juice is blood-red. It is bright in color and crisp in texture.

8. Snow peach

The fruit ripens around the Beginning of Winter (October to November), and by harvest time it is already the snowy season, hence the name snow peach. The fruit quality is good, with sufficient moisture, and it is crisp, sweet, and refreshing.

9. Silver-white peach

The base color of the fruit is silver-white, with a red blush on the sunny side, white with a touch of red, bright and beautiful. The flesh is milky white, with red flesh near the pit, and the flesh separates from the pit.

10. Okubo peach

Okubo peach has dense flesh, few fibers, abundant juice, and a sweet-and-sour yet rich flavor. Besides being eaten fresh, it can also be used for canning and processing.

11. Wild peach

Wild peach is the most primitive, ungrafted peach. The fruit is spherical, with a rounded-blunt or slightly pointed tip, somewhat yellow, densely covered with short soft hairs, and it retains the most original flavor of the peach.

The above is an introduction to peach varieties. Peaches are a common summer fruit with extremely rich varieties. They can be eaten fresh or processed into canned goods or preserved fruit, and they have very high nutritional value, and have long been known as "the number one fruit in the world."
