Peaches are a summer favourite and nothing beats the taste and smell of a freshly picked peach.
Although its botanical name, which literally translates as 'Persian plum', suggests that the peach originated in Persia, its true country of origin is China, where it has been cultivated since the Neolithic period. In its native China, the peach has significant cultural symbolism, representing unity and immortality.
Peach trees are one of the first fruit trees to bloom, their delicate pink blossoms perfuming the early spring air, and in summer they reward you with an abundance of sweet, juicy fruit. Beyond their delicious taste, peaches have impressive nutritional benefits, making them one of the most nutritious fruits overall.
