Can I still eat peaches if they have hair on them

Peach is a fruit with very high nutritional value. Eating peaches regularly is good for your health. Because peaches can supplement various nutrients needed by the human body, and peaches themselves can be used to make many other foods, they are popular among people. There are many types of peaches, and juicy peaches are the most delicious. But can you still eat peaches if they have hair on them?

Can you eat the hair on peach skin?

It cannot be eaten. The peach hairs must be washed before eating to prevent them from piercing the skin and causing rashes; or being inhaled into the respiratory tract and causing symptoms such as coughing and itchy throat.

How to Wash Peach Hair

1. Put the peaches in warm water, sprinkle a little salt, rub them gently, and the peach hair will fall off quickly.

2. Add edible salt to clean water, soak the peaches for 3 minutes, stir, and the peach hair will fall off automatically.

3. Do not let the peaches get wet. Use a clean brush to brush the surface of the peaches, then wash them in salt water.[3]

4. Soak it in alkaline water for a while, and the peach hair will come off without rubbing.

The role of peach hair:

In summer, peaches are ripening and the sunlight is strong. Hairs can help block the sunlight to some extent. If the hairs are dense, they can still play a role.

Summer weather is often sunny just now, and then suddenly it becomes cloudy, with lightning, thunder, and heavy rain. At this time, peach hair plays its role again, it can help peaches to keep out the rain.

The raindrops do not hit the peach skin directly, but fall on the long peach hairs. The peach hairs separate the rain from the skin. When there are more raindrops on the peach hairs, they will flow down directly and will not stay on the surface of the peach.

Peach fuzz may look inconspicuous, but during the growth of peaches, it provides shade and rain protection for peaches, playing a very good protective role. As peaches continue to grow, the flesh begins to swell, and at this time, another function of peach fuzz becomes apparent: it can help peaches reduce fruit cracking.

Generally, when fruits are about to mature, if they are exposed to the sun and washed by rain, the skin will easily crack, which is called fruit cracking. For example, although the skin of grapefruit is so thick, the fruit cracking phenomenon is very serious. The skin of peach is much thinner than that of grapefruit, so the fruit cracking phenomenon is definitely more serious.

How to choose peaches

1. Take a look

Peaches with good texture are large and bright in color, while peaches with poor texture are a bit stunted, small and gray in color. When choosing peaches, you should first look at the color, and try to choose peaches that are red or light red. However, you don't have to be afraid of peaches with "worm eyes", because these peaches are mature and sweet in texture, which will attract the "favor" of insects.

2. Pinch

Peaches can be hard or soft. Hard peaches are crisp and refreshing, while soft peaches are soft and sweet. Each has its own taste, depending on which one you like. Generally speaking, harder and crisper peaches taste sweeter. Hard peaches feel hard when you pinch them, while soft peaches feel soft when you pinch them. You can also choose your favorite flavor by feeling it.

3. Smell it

Normal peaches have a strong peach scent when they are just picked. Even though it takes some time to get from the orchard to the vegetable market and supermarket, some of the original peach fragrance will be lost, but good quality peaches still have a peach scent. Therefore, peaches that do not smell of peaches are likely to have been ripened by chemical fertilizers, so it is best not to choose them.
