Peaches: Sweet, Juicy, and Fuzzy Fun
Why was the Peach acting funny?
Because it was all fuzzy! 🍑✨
The Peach, a beloved fuzzy fruit, traces its origins back to China, where cultivation is believed to have started around 2000 BC—or possibly as early as 6000 BC. With a wide variety of options, including Red, White, Yellow, Clingstone, and Freestone, Peaches are celebrated for their tangy-sweet flavor and juicy texture. Nothing beats the delight of biting into a fresh, ripe Peach!
