Peaches usually appear on store shelves in July. These fruits can be eaten even by those losing weight, as they do not cause a sharp rise in sugar.

How to choose peaches correctly?

Don't choose perfectly round peaches. Often, asymmetrical ones are even tastier.

The peach skin must be fluffy. There should be no dents, spots, cracks or wrinkles on it.

It is advisable to ask the seller to cut the peach.

You need to look closely at the pit. A wrinkled pit indicates that the peach contains a lot of nitrates.

A tasty peach has a fragrant smell. And if the fruit has no smell, then most likely there will be practically no taste.

A peach is worth touching. Ripe specimens are slightly springy, while unripe ones are hard to the touch.

Experienced buyers say that the taste of this fruit depends on its “gender”.

If there is a bulge at the end of the fetus, then it is a "boy". And in a "girl" there is a depression in this place.

The "girl" fruits are sour, while the rest are juicy and sweet.
