The other day we stopped by at an honour system fruit stand to get some
freshly picked peaches. The regular peaches were $6 and there were baskets of white peaches for $5. We had a $5 and no change so we got the white ones. They are actually dark skinned, but the flesh is very pale. Not impressed. I love peaches but I don't often them because they are rough on my system. I tried a couple slices of these things and I was not impressed. They were not as juicy as regular peaches and they were very bland. I was telling a friend about my experience and he liked them. He likes peaches but finds them too tangy, and these were easier for him to take. My wife made a coffee cake with some of them yesterday and the texture of them in the cake was nice, but there just wasn't that great peach flavour. |

White peaches are like white corn: bland, too sweet and no real flavor. -- Elitist Snob |

IMO white corn is too sweet and doesn't have much corn flavor if there is any to be found. I love the two color corn, but it's expensive. -- Elitist Snob |

Silver Queen was very popular in NorCal. It should never be overcooked. I recall the first time I ate wht sweet corn. It was at a bluegrass festival and it looked like a nice change from the usual kettle korn and burrito stands. I watched the guy shuck an fresh ear of wht sweet corn, jam a stick in one end, and dip it in boiling water for exactly one minute. I pulled it out, butter n' salted it, and handed it to me. Sublime! Turns out, cooking it longer only makes the kernal skin tougher. I suspect the 1 min boil was merely to warm the corn. I prolly could've eaten it raw. ![]() nb |

It is sweet and tender. I am pretty much out of corn eating season here. There is lots around, but it is way too yellow for my taste. |

Some people prefer this, but this explains why you found them bland, and why they seemed to lack flavor in the coffee cake. Adding lemon juice might have helped. They should not have been less juicy, however. |

In these tight H2O times, I suspect farmers are using as little water as possible to grow their crops. I jes bought some organic yel peaches and they are borderline dry. Some juice, but not as much as I remember as a kid, when farmers had enough water to flood orchards to 4-5 inches deep. nb |

Strangely flavorless and not very juicy. nancy |

This particular post references an article by Stew Webb, a contributor of Veterans Today. In his life-time, George H. W. Bush (GHWB) has controlled every clandestine (hidden from view) and secret organization/operation within the arsenal of the United States government as either 1) Director of the CIA, 2) Vice President to Ronald Reagan (who was an unwitting puppet to the Bush controlled cabal GHWB secretly gave Reagan poisons that hastened his fall into Alzheimers Disease and evidence suggests he helped plan Reagan attempted assassination by John Hinckley, whose family were close friends of the Bush family a coincidence?) and 3) ultimately as President of the United States before Bill Clinton took office. |

Now all they have are white peaches and they're not ripe but I bought a few and brought them home to ripen them. Very juicy, flavorful, but not 'peachy' enough. |

Yellow corn is loaded with zeaxanthin for our eyes, white has none of it.
