Karla shared some great tips and tricks about peaches, including:
- The different types of peaches you might receive in your Seasonal Roots order like the yellow, white, and flat peach!
- Always wait to wash your peaches and other produce because the moisture makes things go bad faster!
- Don’t put them in the fridge if they’re not ripe or if you don’t want them to ripen. They tend to dehydrate and the skin will wrinkle.
- Freeze them to prevent them from going bad. Peal and cut first. Perfect for smoothies!
- A quick tip for peeling: put the peaches in boiling water for 15-30 seconds, and then put them into ice cold water and the skin will come right off!
