Nectarines are a fuzzless variety of peach. Peaches have a dull fuzzy skin, while the nectarines have a smooth colorful surface. Nectarines taste very similar to peaches, but a bit acidier. The flesh can be yellow, white, or pinkish, with a delicate and sweet flavor. Nectarines can be eaten out of hand just like peaches, and can be used in any way you would peaches. They are a good source of vitamins A and C, beta-carotene and potassium.
