Here is one more reason to look forward to summertime...fresh California white flesh fruit from Kingsburg Orchards. With a creamy white interior and all the sweetness you desire in a peach or nectarine, the flavor will make you wish it was summertime all year long. As a premier supplier of fresh California white flesh peaches and nectarines, Kingsburg Orchards goes to great lengths in growing and harvesting only the best eating varieties. Each carefully hand-packed carton is filled with high color, high sugar, smooth textured, ready-to-eat white flesh fruit.
So what is the biggest difference between white and yellow flesh fruit? The acidity. White flesh peaches and nectarines are sub-acid, which give them a very mellow sweetness that tastes more sugary. In comparison, the acidity of yellow flesh fruit gives them a sweet but tangy kick to their flavor. The flavor profile of white flesh stone fruits can range from sugary-sweet to herbal. They are excellent in homemade ice cream and jams.
We take great care to ensure our white flesh fruit makes it to you in peak condition. They are much more fragile than yellow varieties, and are prone to easy bruising. In the field, we tissue pick our white flesh varieties, ensuring they are cushioned for their ride from the field to our packing facility and that they don't pick up finger bruises from handling. Then, in the packing shed, they are packed with cushions in the boxes for their final ride to your local store. So rather than squeezing them to test for ripeness (which is only a way to test for squishy-ness not sweetness), sniff the area near the stem - if it smells sweet, it's ready for you to eat.
