White vs yellow peaches
Wow! I just had my first Donut Peach [aka Bagel, Saturn, Flattened,
etc]. Wikipedia says they became popular in the 1990s-- I guess
i haven't been paying attention. I asked the farmer at the stand
what the deal was with these little things and he said they taste just
like the white peaches, but are smaller and easier to eat without
getting a juice bath.
Well-- If that's what a white peach tastes like- they are some *SWEET*
peaches.
Seems like somebody was asking recently if it made a difference if
they used white or yellow peaches in a cobbler. If these little
guys are any indication, I'd say yes. Save the white ones for
eating and use the yellows for cooking.
Are all the white peaches very sweet?
These were less fuzzy than the ones I grow in the backyard. All I
know about the variety of mine is that they are yellow and freestone.
