Do you peel peaches or eat the skin? We peel cause they are so fuzzy! Just picked Crest Haven - 52 total! Love this time of year for fresh local produce!!

I never peel peaches. I've never known anyone that does this, never occurred to me to do so, except for making a pie. ❤

@bargainsgirl Peaches are fantastic right now. I love both the white peaches and yellow. No, I don't peel them b/c of all the antioxidants and vitamins in the skin. I just ran out of about 2 doz. and thinking about more.

On. I never peel fruit. All the vitamins are in the peels.

I never peel peaches. The fuzziness practically disappears when you wash them.

I never peel any fruit except bananas and citrus. Peaches are easy to peel if dipped into boiling water for a few seconds but I don't mind the skin. I think they're A lot less fuzzy than they used to be.

@bargainsgirl I don't peel unless the peel has been ruined by bruises or fruit flies, or for pies.

I peel them. I just made a good peach cobbler today with good, local peaches. I also enjoy a cut up peach on dry cereal or oatmeal in the morning. The peaches we have now are Crest Haven and Flaming Fury. They are very close in texture and taste, but I think I like the Crest Haven the best. After I buy peaches and bring them home, they usually need to ripen. I put a couple in a paper bag and let them sit in there for a few days. That works for me.

No peeling here.

If I'm simply eating a peach, I don't peel it, but if I'm making ice cream or having a bowl of peaches & cream, then yes, I peel them.

We don't have peach trees in Hawaii, so ours shipped in. Just another reason I can't wait to retire and move to South Carolina!!

We get amazing Palisade peaches here in Co. I peel them and slice them if we are just eating them plain. I leave the peel on when I put them in the oven split in half with brown sugar. Then top them with vanilla ice cream.

@Kitlynn

Oh, that sounds good! What oven temperature and for how long in the oven? I'd like to try that.

I peel peaches and apricots. I do not like the texture of the fuzz when I am eating them.
