How to Eat a Peach (7 Guidelines You Should Know)
How to eat a peach. Peaches are one of the world’s most popular fruits, having spread west from China, where they’ve been cultivated since 1000 BC and brides carry peach blossoms on their wedding days.
How to Eat a Peach
Peach trees were brought to North America by Columbus on his ships and were known as “Persian apples” by the ancient Romans. They’re tasty, easy to make, and widely available. You can learn to pick ripe ones and eat them raw or cooked.
1. Rinse the Peach Before Eating
Always rinse your peaches in clean water before eating or preparing them, gently rubbing the skin with your hands or a vegetable brush. This aids in the removal of dirt, bacteria, and residual pesticides.
Wait until right before eating to wash your peaches. Getting them wet before putting them in the fridge can promote spoilage and bacteria growth.
While you can eat peach skin, if you don’t like the texture, you can remove it with a paring knife. While peach skin is high in phytonutrients and fiber, many people dislike the fuzzy texture.
2. Eat the Peach-like an Apple
What is the best way to eat a ripe peach? Simply dive in and get your chin wet. Except for the hard pit in the center, you can eat the entire thing.
Try cutting the peach in half, rotating the knife around the center stone, and gently twisting to release both halves. Remove the pit with ease and eat each half without fear of biting into something hard.
The juicy texture of a ripe peach is one of its many appeals. Some of them, however, can be a little too juicy, so be careful not to stain your shirt. To catch the drips, grab a handkerchief or a paper towel.
3. Slice Into Wedges
Slice your peach from stem to tail, going all the way around the center stone with a paring knife. Pull the halves apart and cut each half into three or more slices, depending on the size of your peach. This is a delicious way to enjoy fresh peaches.
For an extra kick, sprinkle your peach slices with a pinch of cinnamon or brown sugar. Fresh cream is also a tasty addition.
This can be difficult to pull off if you have an extremely ripe clingstone peach. If the peach is clinging to the pit, you may end up smashing it and having difficulty moving the individual slices.
4. Mix Diced Peach or Slices Into Yogurt or Cottage Cheese
Diced peach is an excellent candidate for adding texture and sweetness to your yogurt.
Aside from the probiotic properties of the yogurt, you’ll get a fruit that’s high in iron, potassium, vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and phytonutrient. Even better, it simply tastes good.
