Seasons/Availability
Indian peaches are an heirloom variety, look for them to arrive in the late summer months.
Description/Taste
The skin of the Indian peach is exceptionally fuzzy with a deep red-orange hue. Its interior is marbleized with red and pink streaks. This peach can grow fairly large in size and is highly acidic with a tart peach flavor.
Nutritional Value
Peaches are high in vitamin C, dietary fiber, vitamin A, niacin and potassium.
Applications
Indian red peaches pair well with ricotta and mascarpone cheeses and cured meats. Because of their exceptionally fuzzy skin these peaches are best if peeled. There are two simple ways do this, blanch them (submerge in boiling water for 1 or 2 minutes, remove from water and place into ice-water) or remove the peel with a serrated peeler.
