The peach is the fruit from a species of ''prunus'' with a sweet flesh and a fuzzy skin. Peaches with white flesh typically are very sweet with little acidity, while yellow-fleshed peaches typically have an acidic tang coupled with sweetness, though this also varies greatly. Both colours often have some red on their skin. Low-acid white-fleshed peaches are the most popular kinds in China, Japan, and neighbouring Asian countries, while Europeans and North Americans have historically favoured the acidic, yellow-fleshed kinds.

===What are Nectarines?===
[[Image:Nectarine.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Nectarines on the tree]]
The nectarine is a cultivar group of peach that has a smooth, fuzz less skin. Though fuzzy peaches and nectarines are commercially regarded as different fruits, with nectarines often erroneously believed to be a crossbreed between peaches and [[plums]], or a "peach with a [[plum]] skin", they belong to the same species as peaches.
