Facts About Nectarine
- The name of the fruit comes from the drink that the ancient Greek gods drank. Another name for the fruit is the bare peach.
- Outwardly, it practically does not differ from peach, except that it is colored in orange, yellow, and red. The Chinese consider such a fruit uncomplicated and often eat it, but nectarine contains many useful substances.
- As we have already noted, the fruit is colored in 3 colors, but sometimes there are only 2 combinations, as a rule, orange and yellow or red and yellow. Sometimes nectarine is called the "fruit of the heart" due to its characteristic shape. The peel of the fruit is thin, inside there is a rather large stone.
- The main feature of the composition of the nectarine is a large number of antioxidants, which contributes to longevity. The naked peach is recommended for food to everyone who cares about metabolism, and thanks to pectin, a positive effect on intestinal motility is provided. The fruit is considered an excellent antiseptic, which makes it useful for treating infections.
- The beneficial properties of nectarine are not limited to medical purposes only. It has found its application in dietetics, as it is easily digestible and reduces appetite. At the same time, the pulp of the fruit is great for making masks that sip the skin.
- Oil is squeezed out of nectarine seeds, which are later used in creams and during aromatherapy. Nectarine is recommended for the treatment of atherosclerosis, as it promotes the excretion of sodium.
- The fruit is indicated for hypertensive patients, as well as those suffering from ulcers or gastritis. Just one fruit a day serves as a good prevention of arrhythmia and constipation. Interestingly, it is the nectarine seed shells that go into the production of activated carbon.
- Nectarines can be consumed in almost any form. Even dried and baked fruits retain their beneficial properties, but fresh fruit is the best option.
- Nectarines can be added to yogurts, consumed with meat, added to baked goods, or chilled desserts. Fruit juice is easy to make as it contains a lot of moisture. They go well with berries and other fruit fruits, and also go well with meat, contributing to its rapid absorption.
- When choosing, pay attention to bright yellow fruits with red filling on the sides. If the color is pink, then the fruit is not yet ripe. The dark color should be alarming - this is a clear signal of the use of nitrates, harmful to the body.
- Do not leave fruit at room temperature. In such conditions, the release of ethylene begins, which spoils the fruits, including neighboring ones. If you have purchased unripe nectarines, then they can just be left to ripen in room conditions.
- The best storage option is a refrigerator. For them, there is a "Fresh" zone. Just wrap each fruit with paper and sort it regularly.
- Freezing is allowed for nectarines. The recommended temperature is minus 18 degrees. A food container is suitable as a container, in which you can pour more sugar. If you are going to place uncut fruits together with seeds, it is better to put them on a cutting board, place them in the freezer for 1 hour, and then put them in a bag, having previously evacuated the air, then put the fruits in the freezer again. In this form, they can be stored for six months.
- Due to a large number of varieties, nectarine cultivation is possible in almost any region of the planet. In France, until recently, nectarine and peach were considered the same fruit, although in many English-language reference books, since the beginning of the 17th century, they were considered completely different.
