The balance of sugar and acid in nectarines is responsible for the harmonious blend of sweet and tart in these blushing beauties. Our unique varieties, like the Pearlicious, have a succulent flavor and enticing aromas that offer a crisp and refreshing summer treat.
Our white flesh nectarines are similar to our white peaches, but without the fuzz. They are very low in acid which makes their natural sweetness even more prominent.
Many of our new varieties of yellow nectarines have lower acid levels, similar to white flesh varieties. This gives them an even sweeter flavor while still retaining a bit of the acid for that traditional flavor.
A red-hued nectarine isn’t necessarily ripe. Look for firm, plump fruit with a slight give.
If under-ripe, store them in a loose paper bag for a day, then refrigerate.
Keep fruit unwrapped in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
When ready to eat, leave them on the counter for a day for an extra juicy bite.
