Peaches
Common Packs:
Single-layer and two-layer tray packs
Volume-fill boxes
Receiving Inspecting:
Choose bright, fresh-looking peaches with cream to yellow skin and red blush or mottling. Ripe peaches should give to gentle palm pressure. Avoid bruised, discolored, or green fruit.
Storage Handling:
Short-term storage recommendation (7 days or less):
Ripe
- 32-36° F/0-2° C; store in back of cooler
- 90-98% relative humidity
Unripe (to ripen)
- 55-70° F/13-21° C; store outside the cooler
- 90-98% relative humidity
Shelf-Life:
14 to 28 days.
Troubleshooting:
Uneven ripening, shriveling, and flavor loss are signs of immature fruit. Flesh browning, mealy texture, and poor flavor indicate chill injury.
Usage Ideas:
- Marinate sliced peaches in balsamic syrup and sugar; top angel food or cornmeal cakes.
- Grill halved peaches and chicken pieces until charred; drizzle with roasted chile-yogurt dressing.
