5 Things to Know About Peaches

August 24, 2017 by admin Leave a Comment

August 24th is National Peach Pie Day and to celebrate we thought we’d share five things to know about peaches (compliments of Foodimentary).

  1. Did you know?  Peaches were once known as Persian apples.
  2. “You’re a real peach” originated from the tradition of giving a peach to the friend you liked.
  3. Peaches were mentioned as early as 79 A.D. in literature.
  4. Most peaches are cultivated by grafting different combinations of rootstocks to scions; not raised from seed.
  5. There are over 700 varieties of peaches – some Chinese varieties are even flat like hockey pucks.

Who knew? Hope you indulge in a slice of peach pie or a glass of peach sweet (see Monday’s post) today!

Happy National Peach Pie Day!

Love,
