Nectarine

Long called the peach-apricot, the nectarine is a peach variety derived from Prunus Persica Nucipersica. The nectarine nonetheless belongs to the same family as the peach, namely the Rosaceae. The skin of the nectarine is smooth and glossy, unlike that of the peach, which has a slight fuzz. The flesh of the nectarine is yellow, pink, white or orange and separates easily from its pit, unlike the brugnon. The nectarine is thus said to be a stone fruit. The nectarine also has numerous benefits.
