Nectarine
Nectarines are smooth-skinned stone fruits closely related to peaches. They have juicy flesh and a sweet, fragrant flavor, with varieties ranging from yellow to white flesh.
Unlike peaches, nectarines have smooth skin rather than fuzzy skin. They may be freestone, clingstone, or semi-freestone depending on how easily the flesh separates from the pit. Their firm texture makes them excellent for eating fresh as well as grilling, roasting, baking, and preserving.
