Julia Butkevic, Head of the Fruit and Vegetables Purchasing Department at Maximos, provided insight into the variety and characteristics of stone fruits currently available in stores. She highlighted the distinct qualities among different types of nectarines and peaches, advising consumers on selection based on desired flavor profiles. Butkevic noted that the standard peaches, characterized by yellow flesh, are typically sweet and juicy, offering a notably refreshing taste balanced with a slight natural sourness.
In contrast, she pointed out a different variety: flat peaches possessing white flesh. These alternative peaches are described as fragrant, soft, and exceptionally sweet, featuring a lower level of acidity compared to the standard yellow varieties. For consumers who prefer less tart fruit, the white-fleshed, flat peaches are recommended as an excellent alternative to the more traditionally acidic peaches.
Conversely, for those seeking a noticeable, yet pleasant, level of tanginess, she advised paying specific attention to the white-fleshed peaches, which can offer a surprising degree of pleasant sourness. Overall, the department is currently featuring a diverse and filling selection of stone fruits. By understanding these subtle differences in flesh color and flavor profile, shoppers can select the perfect peach variety to complement their meals.
