"white peaches" news and stories

Both white and yellow peaches have their fans, but what is the difference between the two types of fruits? While they may look the same at first glance, the white-fleshed peaches are often lighter in color than the yellow ones. Their skin will tend more towards pink and less towards orange. White peaches are less acidic than yellow peaches, so their flavor is much softer and more delicate. They're excellent for eating out-of-hand, while yellow peaches tend to be better for baking, since their flavor can stand up to the flavors of buttery pie crusts, sugary cobblers and lots of vanilla ice cream. All ripe peaches are delicious, so there is no way to make a "wrong" choice when you're deciding between the two.

There are also white apricots and white nectarines and, by and large, the same general rules apply for other stone fruits as for peaches. And whether you choose to go for white or yellow stone fruits, the criteria for picking good ones are the same: they should have a strong, sweet scent and give slightly to the pressure of a finger.
