random question about eating peaches

twinkle_star · Kenneth Cole

I always just eat them like apples. I love peaches!

relrel · Marc Jacobs

Well, first, you always have to at least rinse the peach because the skin is sorta furry. But other than that, how I eat them really depends on the availability of a wet paper towel. If I'm at home then I'm gonna eat them like an apple with all that delicious sticky sweet juice running down my arms but if I'm at the park or something I'll try to cut them up before.

Kelly · Hermes

I don't use soap - just rinse like any other fruit/veggie, then eat like an apple

XtinaStyles · Marc Jacobs

If you are concerned with the skin being inedible why don't you buy organic?

I just rinse in the sink and bite like an apple.

alb · Marc Jacobs

thanks everyone! i want to eat it the apple way just felt weird about the skin and wanted to know what everyone else does. xtinastyles - that's a good idea to buy organic - thanks!

For future reference, peaches and nectarines are one of the "dirty dozen" - the foods with the highest levels of pesticides. If you're at all concerned or sensitive to chemicals, this is one fruit to always buy organic.

Conventional peach growers use up to 45 different pesticides. The skin is too thin to prevent the inner fruit from contamination.

I started buying all my food organic, or as much as possible after reading the Omnivore's Dillemma. I felt like I couldn't go back to my regular way of eating.

NCshopper · Hermes

Yeah, I'd get good organic peaches and then eat them with the skin. I may be kinda weird, but I actually like the skin.

nightshade · Nine West

Can't do it, it reminds me of biting into a mouse.

Yana · Dooney & Bourke

Everyone I know eats peaches as apples, with the skin on....but I can't, to me this velvety cover spoils the whole juicy champagny inside ( if I was lucky enough to buy the good kind, not the "grass like"), especially in donut peaches, so I cut it off....

pollyjean23 · Marc Jacobs

if you can't get past the furry skin, nectarines are a good option. Yes- buy organic, rinse (I might give a quick, diluted spray of fruit wash just to be anal about it), and eat with skin-on. You can also cut into wedges too.

XtinaStyles · Marc Jacobs

I like the fur!

I eat peaches - skin and all. Don't worry for me though, we grow them ourselves so I'm chemy-free.

Sibeski if you lived closer you would see me lusting after your peaches

nightshade · Nine West

I was a cat in a past life.

kenzie · Chanel

Hehe. This post is amusing.

I rinse and eat the furry skin, too. And I buy organic.
