Peach

If You Read Nothing Else

Ripe peaches in a bowl — a deep crease and a soft give at the stem mean they are ready.

Skin left on carries most of the polyphenols (protective plant compounds) and chlorogenic acid.

Peach pit and kernel contain amygdalin — flesh is safe, crushed pit isn't.

Conventional peaches carry a heavy pesticide load — organic preferred where possible.
