DONUT PEACH: There is a new peach just coming into production from California
and Washington. Some people may remember the Chinese Flat Peach.
The Donut Peach resembles the Flat Peach.. It's flat, with a sunken center.
It has a wonderful yellow color with a red blush on the outside. And it is
white flesh inside. Full of sugar and juice. It may be called a Donut Peach,
but this won't put a lot of pounds on you. It may, however, get juice all
down your arm. This is definitely a peach to roll up your sleeves with. Peak
supplies from Washington will be in mid-July.
Donut Peach
A descendant of the flat peaches of China. First grown in America in the
1800's. Up to 3 1/2 inches in diameter, it is flat, round, and drawn in at
the center. The skin is pale yellow with a red blush. The pit (free-stone
variety) is about the size of a pistachio nut. The flesh is white. Sweet
peach flavor; very juicy.
