    What Do Peaches Taste Like

    Peaches are drupes or stone fruit, which means they contain a large stone or pit with the seed inside. This stone fruit tastes sweet and juicy with a little acidic or tart depending on the type. There are two popular varieties of peaches, white and yellow. Yellow peaches have sweet flesh with a bit of sourness in their outer skin. While white peaches taste sweet with little tartness coming from the outer layer.

    Their skin is thin and fuzzy, color varies from white, yellow, red, and pink. And when you look at peaches you see an array of ombre colors. Peache's texture also changes depending on the ripeness. It starts with the hard flesh and continues to be soft and juicy flesh as it ripens further.
