I love your videos! I’m 67 and have finally have learned how to pick the perfect watermelon, cantaloupe and now peaches and nectarines! 😂😂😂😂

Sometimes I've picked out a peach that had would pass the indent test but it would be mealy and dry. 😟 And then, too, I've gotten peaches that were quite hard when I'd buy them, but after leaving them on the counter for 2 or 3 days were the absolute BEST!! Perfect peaches can be elusive sometimes! 😄

I had read that the stem area of the peach should smell like a peach. If not, put it back. You mentioned smelling it a little but your primary test was the feel. Until recently (6/20/23), most of the peaches in the various grocery stores were hard enough to use to drive nails. Thanks for your information, I'll feel a bunch more peaches next time I get to the store. The nectarines in my area (Las Vegas) did feel like you're suggesting and were marvelous, better than the peaches!! Thanks for the great information!

The best peach is still on the tree and falls into your hand with a very gentle pull. Or, if you happen to see one fall to the ground, then run grab it. Other-worldly, juice running off your chin, type flavor! Nonetheless, great advice for the store! Thanks.

The best peaches are from South Carolina and Georgia, in my opinion. Love peaches!

I always wait until my favorite produce market gets the Colorado peaches in. I can eat 3-4 of those a day!

Hi.. I love all your videos. Very educational and easy to follow through. Kindly upload a video on how to pick a fresh, sweet and fleshy Mangosteen. TQ😋😋😋

I really enjoy your videos! I find the best peaches at the farmer's market. How do you pick a juicy and crunchy jicama?

I have picked up peaches that seemed ripe. Soft smelled peachy but when I ate it, it was mealy. The texture was bad. Why does that happen and how do I avoid it?❤

[blackisblack]

I remember in my childhood that peaches smelt incredibly good and today, despite the fact that they look delicious, they are hard and smell like grass. I don't buy peaches anymore.

Same way to pick a ripe mango 🥭 most important it should smell amazing

I live in IN and we get ours specially ordered online from the Peach Truck! Perfection 🍑

I have a suspicion that the big so-called discount stores buy second or third quality fruits and vegetables so they can sell at lower prices than premium quality fruits being sold at high-end grocers. Also, are the selling prices determined by the juiciness and crispness of the produce. Is this true?
I'm a subscriber to your channel and cherish your expertise on how to pick the best of the bunch.

How do you properly ripen a peach that isn't ready to eat?

[davidjohnson]

I reckon having a good nose is a bonus to selecting the best fruit; not everyone has excellent smell 😋

[KH-coez]

Seems like my peaches are always mushy

[burbie]

I hope you bought that peach and a nectarine that you just jammed your finger into, and basically bruised it ! now it’s gonna start to rot.

The best peaches I've had come from South Carolina or Georgia, NOT California!!!
