ShoppaHolique, sometimes you can find chinese peaches (white ones) and maybe even australian ones at specialty food vendors but it is relatively rare… I have gotten them at the Salcedo market, at fruit stands in the heart of greenhills, sometimes at Rustan’s…

at work we get a box of fruits every Monday morning for a healthy alternative to sweets. and because it’s stone fruit season maraming nectarines and peaches. Nectarines are my absolute favourite after mango. Nothing beats Pinoy mangga for me.

linda, yes I have tried white fleshed peaches, they are great. The ones in the photos are slipstone which I gather means they are easy to extract from the pitt. suzette, you can sometimes find nectarines at some upscale groceries but they aren’t the best quality ones.

Hi MM, have you tried the white fleshed peach before? It’s just the cat’s pajamas – it’s the best! There are only a limited amount of growers here in Australia as these peach trees are very labour intensive in order to maintain a good crop. Harvest time is very short that’s why I keep an eye on the produce market so I can pick the best of the crop. Lovely to eat on it’s own or mixed with arugula salad, goat’s or buffalo or parmigiano reggiano, prosciutto and your favourite dressing.

You’re lucky to have cousins who can bring you these gorgeous fruits – if I happen to come for a visit I’ll gladly bring you some – this is just a gesture to thank you for all yr good deeds and also pala plus a bottle of Grange Hermitage.
