The flavor of peach degrades with excessive refrigeration. Therefore, it is recommended to refrigerate them one hour before consuming. To cut a peach, insert a knife at the seam and let it run end-to-end around the pit. Hold the peach and twist until the two halves separate, before removing the seed in the flesh.
Common ways
to preserve fruits
Peaches are best stored at room temperature because they are easily damaged and do not last long. They are sensitive to low temperatures and lose their unique juiciness when left in a cold environment. So, store them in a cool and dark place with good ventilation. It is a good idea to chill them in the refrigerator for an hour or two before eating.
