Question for Mom

Regular Peach (left), White Peach (right)

What’s the difference between regular peaches and white peaches? – Claire Z.

Price and flavor.  White peaches are rarely found in supermarkets.  When they are, they’re usually priced at a premium.  The skin of a white peach is rosy pink and white, much paler than the yellow/orange/red hues on the skin of a regular peach.  The flesh is white, not deep yellow, and the taste is a bit sweeter.  White peaches are more delicate and don’t bake as well as regular peaches, so don't use them for pies.  Instead, slice them and eat them raw for dessert or as a snack.
