nectarines
Fuzzless stone fruit
Nectarines are smooth-skinned stone fruits closely related to peaches, differing mainly in their lack of fuzz.
The flesh ranges from white to yellow and surrounds a hard pit.
They can be eaten fresh, sliced into salads, or used in desserts and preserves.
The nectarines at the farmers market were perfectly ripe.
Like peaches, they're summer fruits that bruise easily when ripe.
