Peaches

Originating from China, Peaches have great symbolism and representation in Pakistan and China.

China is one of the largest producers of Peach, followed by Spain, Italy, Greece, and the USA. Packed with nutrients, antioxidants, and vitamins, Peaches are great for skin, immune system, and brain health.

Amsden June, Belle Garde, Red Haven, Breda, Duke of York, Peregrine, and Kestrel Peach are some of the common variants available across the UK.

Peaches Vs Nectarines   

The skin with the fuzz is the unique aspect of the fruit. The skin with fuzz varieties are called Peach, and without the fuzz are called Nectarines.

Surprisingly only one gene is the cause of the absence of fuzz, otherwise, the fruits taste and look the same.     

Early Rivers, Madame Blanchette, Lord Napier, and Fire Gold are some of the varieties of Nectarines available across the UK.

How to Eat Peaches and Nectarines

You would be surprised by the ways peach and nectarine can be used in your daily diet. One of the trendiest uses of the fruit is making Peach iced tea.

They make an excellent addition to gravies, salsa, salads, and desserts. Peaches and nectarine are also used to make relish and chutney.  

While they can be the hero of cake, tart, and pavlova, peach cobbler is one of the most famous desserts using the fruit.

Baked and grilled peaches make excellent sides for barbecues. However, you can never have enough of peach and nectarine jam and marmalades.  

How To Make Peach Iced Tea

You can broil, bake, or saute the fruit until soft mush. Using the fork, mash the fruit and bring it to a boil in water with sugar. Put the pulp in the refrigerator to cool.  

In a pot, brew the tea using a tea leaf. I prefer loose tea leaves over tea bags for peach iced tea. Make the tea slightly lighter than usual. Refrigerate the tea to cool. 

After a while, take out the tea and peach pulp. Pour the tea into a cup, add some ice, and add the peach syrup using a strainer. Serve instantly.
