Nectarine

The nectarine flesh is rich, sweet and juicy and is well suited for eating fresh and for using in ice cream, pies and fruit salads. Colour ranges from silvery white or yellowy orange to pinkish red. The white-fleshed varieties are considered the best and usually the most expensive. Nectarines are often described as a cross between a peach and a plum, but nectarines are actually a variety of smooth-skinned peach.
