How should I care for my peaches?Updated a month ago
To enjoy the fullest, juiciest flavor, your peaches will need a little time to finish ripening, or “conditioning,” once they arrive. Here’s how to get them just right:
- Room Temperature Conditioning: Place your peaches stem-side down on the counter at room temperature. They’re ready to eat when they’re soft to the touch and have a delicious, sweet aroma!
- Quick Tip: To speed up conditioning, put your peaches in a paper bag. This traps their natural ethylene gas, which helps them ripen faster. Just be sure to check them daily!
- Enjoy Now or Save for Later: Once they’re conditioned, dive in and enjoy! Or, to keep them fresh longer, pop them in the fridge.
Handle your peaches gently—they bruise easily. Following these steps will give you that perfect summer taste, every time!
