Like many common fruits, nectarines are part of the Rosaceae (rose) family much like apples, pears, strawberries and raspberries. While I am not sure what a rose tastes like unless brewed in an herbal tea, you can count on the nectarine to satisfy your craving for a fruit. Unlike its cousin the peach, there is no “peach fuzz” or trichomes on the nectarine. Instead the skins are red, yellow and white, and smooth. Plus they are full of vitamins A, B, C, E and K and calcium, magnesium, iron and potassium. They mimic the peach with the stone center and trees looking much the same. The stone can be a variety that attaches the flesh to the stone (clingstone), or it separates easily (freestone). It is a low-calorie fruit with only 40 calories per 100 grams of fruit, and offers antioxidants and dietary fiber.
