In addition, grocers used to store peaches in the cold section of the produce department, which causes the peaches to deteriorate and lose their flavor.
Peaches selected when they are brightly colored but firm to moderately hard will ripen in two to three days at room temperature.
When ripe, peaches should be stored in the refrigerator until eaten, but only for a couple of days since the cold storage will reduce their juice and flavor.
Cultivated peaches are divided into "freestone" and "clingstone" cultivars, depending on whether the flesh sticks to the stone or not; both kinds can have either white or yellow flesh.
Peaches with white flesh typically are very sweet with little acidity, while yellow-fleshed peaches typically have an acidic tang coupled with sweetness, though this also varies greatly.
Peach trees grow very well in a fairly limited range, since they have a chilling requirement that subtropical areas cannot satisfy, and they are not very cold-hardy.
