FLAT PEACH

Description

The flat peach (Prunus persica var. platycarpa), is also called with many different names such as “doughnut peach” or “Saturn peach”, “pesca piatta” o “tabacchiera” in Italy, “paraguayos” in Spain. Most of these names are referred to the typical flat and oblate shape of this fruit.

The skin is yellow and red, and they are less fuzzy than many other peaches. The inside of the fruit is pale yellow to white in appearance.

Saturn peaches are usually sweeter than other peaches, but still have a recognisable peach taste.
