Peach

Peach, also known as peach in some regions of Spain, is a juicy and sweet fruit that belongs to the Rosaceae family. Its skin, which can vary between yellow, orange, and reddish tones, is slightly velvety, while its flesh is soft and aromatic. This fruit is native to northwest China but has been widely cultivated in Latin America, Europe, and the United States.

Peach is rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, and antioxidants, in addition to providing dietary fiber that aids digestion. Its sweet and refreshing flavor makes it an ideal ingredient for a wide variety of recipes, from desserts like pies and ice cream to salads and jams.

In Hispanic America, besides "durazno," it is commonly referred to as peach (mainly in Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela) or simply "durazno" (in Argentina, Chile, and other countries). It is recommended to select fruits that are firm but slightly soft to the touch to ensure their freshness and flavor when using them in cooking.
