The difference between yellow peach and yellow peach

Yellow peach and nectarine are both common varieties of peaches, but there are some differences between them. For example, the flesh of yellow peach is yellow and its skin is yellowish, while the flesh of nectarine is white and its skin is relatively smooth. Yellow peach can be called yellow-fleshed peach, which belongs to the genus Prunus in the Rosaceae family, while nectarine is also called peach plum, which is a variant of ordinary peach, so there is a big difference between them.

The difference between yellow peach and yellow peach

1. Yellow peach is also called yellow flesh peach

It belongs to the genus Peach in the Rosaceae family and is named after the yellow color of its flesh. Yellow peaches are very nutritious, containing rich antioxidants (α-carotene, β-carotene, lycopene, lycopene and vitamin C, anti-free radicals, etc.), dietary fiber (the large amount of pectin in the pulp is cellulose needed by the human body, easily absorbed, etc.), iron calcium and a variety of trace elements (selenium, zinc, etc. are significantly higher than other fruits, making it the king of fruits). Yellow peaches are soft but firm when eaten, more sweet than sour, fragrant, with medium moisture, and a mature sugar content of 14 to 15 degrees. Regular consumption can help with bowel movements, lower blood sugar and blood lipids, fight free radicals, remove dark spots, delay aging, improve immunity, and also promote appetite. It can be called a health fruit and a peach for health preservation.

2. Nectarine is also known as peach plum.

Nectarine (English: Nectarine) is a variant of the common peach (peel covered with fuzz), a deciduous small tree whose fruit is taken as a fruit. Nectarine originated in China and is distributed in Asia and North America. There are wild nectarines in the northwest of China. Nectarines are deciduous small trees. The leaves are narrow elliptic to lanceolate, 15 cm long and 4 cm wide. The flowers are solitary, ranging from light to dark pink or red, sometimes white, with a short stalk and a diameter of 4 cm. They bloom in early spring. The nearly spherical drupe has a hairy surface, is edible fleshy, orange-yellow with a reddish color, 7.5 cm in diameter, and has a core with deep pitting and grooves, containing white seeds.

China's nectarine production started late. Early varieties were mostly introduced from Europe and the United States. They tasted sour and did not conform to Oriental consumption habits, so they had limited impact on production, leaving people with the impression that "nectarines are sour." But nectarines have high nutritional value, are rich in vitamins, and have high edible value.

The skin of nectarine is hairless, smooth, shiny, and brightly colored, as if it were coated with oil; the skin of ordinary peaches is fuzzy, reddish or slightly yellowish, and not shiny. Okay, that’s all the introduction about yellow peaches for now. I think you all know about it, my friends.
