When Are Peaches in Season in your region?
Peaches in your region: peak season runs May to August, and they are out of season January. Timing shifts with local climate and supply, so treat this as a guide — the seasonal tool below breaks it down month by month.
How to Pick a Ripe Peach
- Fragrance: The most reliable sign — a ripe peach smells intensely of peach near the stem. No smell means no flavour.
- Gentle give: Press near the stem — slight softness means ripe. Rock hard means underripe. Mushy means overripe.
- Background colour: The base colour (not the red blush) should be fully yellow or golden — not green.
- No bruises: Peaches bruise very easily. Even small soft spots spread rapidly in the fridge.
Peach vs Nectarine
Peaches and nectarines are genetically almost identical — the only difference is a single gene that gives peaches their fuzzy skin. Nectarines tend to be slightly firmer and sweeter. They are fully interchangeable in all recipes.
Peach Nutrition
One medium peach (150g): 63 calories, 15g carbs, 2.3g fibre, vitamins A and C, potassium and niacin. The skin contains significant amounts of antioxidant phenolics — always eat peaches with skin on.
