Peaches not only captivate with a wonderful scent, but the sweet taste of peaches also makes this fruit one of the most seductive in the world. The stone fruit enjoys great popularity and is found in many recipes. Here I have collected a few tips about peaches:
Tips all about peaches
Ripen peaches faster
Unripe, still very firm peaches ripen faster if you put them in a box, cover them with newspaper, and place them in a dark place. This also applies to green tomatoes.
Peel peaches more easily
Let the peaches soak briefly in hot water and immediately rinse them with cold water. Now the skin can be removed more easily.
Buying peaches
When buying peaches, you should check the fruit beforehand so as not to be disappointed. Good, aromatic peaches have a habit of smelling distinctively. If the peaches do not smell at all, you should not buy them, because they cannot be ripe and will then taste significantly like water. When buying, also make sure that the fruit is not too soft, because soft spots quickly turn brown and start to mold quickly.
Storage of peaches
Peaches are very sensitive to pressure and should only be stored side by side. These stone fruits like it cool, so storage in the refrigerator is best. Peaches can be kept in the refrigerator for a maximum of 3 days.
Eat in small quantities
Peaches have a slightly laxative effect, so not too many peaches should be eaten at once.
