Nectarines entice with their smooth, vibrant skin and a color palette that gradates from a fiery red to a sunset yellow. They boast a firm, succulent flesh that delivers a sweet, slightly tart flavor, bursting with juice at each bite. This stone fruit, similar in appearance to peaches but without the characteristic fuzz, is perfect for eating fresh or slicing into salads, yogurts, and cereal. Nectarines can also be grilled or baked into desserts like pies and crumbles. A versatile delicacy, each fruit offers a healthy dose of vitamins A and C, along with dietary fiber, making them as nutritious as they are delicious.
“I wish I could tell you, really describe to you how perfect they are. They did all the things great peaches do. They were sweet and just a little sour and you had to eat them over the sink because the juice would run down your arm. Maybe the most wonderful thing about them is that you could smell them, not when you walked into the kitchen, but when you opened the front door of my apartment. But actually, no. Because really the most wonderful thing about them was where they came from.”
— Francis Lam, Splendid Table (Episode 692)
