Tunisian peaches and Tunisian nectarines are the same species, although they are considered commercially as different fruits. Nectarines have smooth skin, while peaches have blurred skin. Lack of lint can make nectarine skins more reddish than peach skins, contributing to the mistaken illusion that nectarine is a cross between peaches and plums, or "plum skin peach". On average, nectarines are slightly smaller and sweeter than peaches, but they overlap a lot.
PEACHES and NECTARINES 2018-2019 Season in Tunisia:
The 2018-2019 Fisheries and Nactarines campaign in Tunisia is distinguished by the production of nearly 151,000 tonnes of peaches and nactarines compared to 121,000 tonnes in the previous campaign, an increase of 25%, including 62.3,000 tonnes of peaches. early, 66.8 thousand tonnes of seasonal fishing and 19 thousand tonnes of late season fishing.
Refreshing and moderately in terms of energy intake, peaches are perfectly suited for the summer months. They indeed have refreshing and hydrating properties, thanks to their high water content and their limited presence of sugars and organic acids in balanced proportions. Natural organic acids give peaches a slightly tart touch. A nectarine is a variety of peach without blurring.
The intake of vitamins by peaches is very varied. Vitamins B are well represented, in particular vitamin B3 (1 mg / 100 g) and pantothenic acid or vitamin B5 (0.16 mg / 100 g), as well as vitamin E (0.5 mg / 100 g). An average peach provides 8 to 10 mg of vitamin C, or about 10 to 12% of the recommended daily intake. The flavonoid pigments (predominant in red peaches) enhance the action of vitamin C and increase the resistance of small blood capillaries. It is a very useful effect in summer when the sun and the heat strain the circulatory system. It is also interesting to note the level of provitamin A (or carotene): peaches, in particular with yellow flesh, are part of the fruits which provide good quantities at 0.5 mg per 100 g on average and up to 1 mg for varieties with yellow flesh.
Consumed perfectly ripe, peaches are a particularly well tolerated fruit: the fibers are very tender and act gently and effectively on the intestines. It is for this reason that very young children and even babies can eat poached and crushed peaches very early.
