The peach belongs to the Rosaceae family and is a genus of peach.

According to statistics, there are more than 1,000 varieties worldwide.

It is worth noting that fresh peaches are extremely difficult to store after coming off the tree and should be eaten while fresh.

The peach tree has early results, good yield stability, less stringent requirements for soil conditions, easy cultivation management and other characteristics and cultivation of apples, pears and other deciduous fruit trees compared, can be faster and easier to obtain economic benefits, and therefore particularly favoured by cultivators.

There are three types of peaches on the market: soft peach, with more fruit hairs on the skin, which are a little bit tingly to the touch.

Greenish crisp peach, with relatively few fruit hairs; and nectarine, which has a smooth skin and is basically hairless.

Generally speaking, those who do not like to peel can choose the smooth and hairless nectarines.

Peeled peaches are better if they have a lot of hairs.

Why should they be peeled?

One is a matter of hygiene, and there are also allergy issues.

Many people are allergic to peaches, and even those who are not allergic are prone to allergic symptoms if they eat too many peaches.

The allergic reaction to eating peaches is that at first the corners of the mouth may become red, peeling and itchy, at which point you should stop eating peaches again and rush to wash your mouth and hands with water.

If left unattended, the reaction can become severe and lead to a large number of allergic red spots around the lips, ears and neck, as well as diarrhoea, abdominal pain and other gastrointestinal problems.

What should I do if I buy a peach with hairs on it?

You can rub the skin of the peach directly with salt before eating and then rinse with water to remove the hairs more cleanly.

Apart from preventing allergies, this is also to avoid pricking the skin and causing a rash.

Or inhaling into the respiratory tract and causing symptoms such as coughing and a tingling throat.

Although peaches are good for one's health, they should not be eaten in excess because they contain high levels of sugar, with a regular-sized peach containing about 7 grams of sugar.

So diabetics are prone to unstable blood sugar and aggravation of their condition after eating them.

Secondly, it is best not to feed peaches to babies and young children.

Because peaches contain a large amount of macromolecules, infants and young children have poor gastrointestinal dialysis and are unable to digest these substances, which can easily cause allergic reactions.

Finally, they are not suitable for sickly and weak patients or those with too weak gastrointestinal functions.

It will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines.
