Selecting

When selecting peaches look for mature peaches, no green ones. A red blush doesn’t indicate ripeness, but peaches with skins that show a background color of yellow or warm cream are a good indicator of ripeness. Select peaches that are firm but give a little when squeezed gently.

Storing

Peaches usually require additional ripening after purchased. To ripen hold peaches a few days at room temperature. Once fully ripened they are ready to eat or can be refrigerated for later use. A good indicator of when a peach is ripe, they should yield to the touch and have a sweet peach aroma.
