Peaches
Types
Most types of peaches are "freestone" or "clingstone," but some are "semi-freestone." The "stone" is the pit in the middle of the peach. The pit in a "freestone" peach separates easily from the fruit, while the pit in a "clingstone" peach is firmly attached to the fruit. Most fresh peaches available in your produce department are "freestone," so they are easy to eat. "Clingstone" peaches are often used to make canned peaches.

There are several different varieties of peaches. Two of the most popular varieties of freestone peaches are Elegant Lady and O-Henry. The fruit inside these peaches is yellow in color. Some peaches have white fruit inside, but most have yellow fruit. Next time you're at the supermarket, select fresh peaches to take home and eat!
