Shelf Life: 3 Days

Australian peaches are sweet, juicy, and fragrant — especially when they’re in season (typically summer). Here’s how to enjoy them and why they’re great for your health.

How to Eat Australian Peaches

1. Eat Fresh (Best Way)

• Wash thoroughly under running water.

• Eat with the skin on (it contains fiber and antioxidants).

• Slice around the natural crease, twist open, and remove the seed.

• Cut into wedges or bite directly.

👉 Tip: If it’s slightly firm, leave it at room temperature for 1–2 days to ripen. A ripe peach smells sweet and yields slightly when pressed.

2. Chilled Snack

• Refrigerate ripe peaches for a few hours.

• Slice and enjoy cold — perfect in Singapore’s warm weather.

3. Add to Breakfast

• Slice into oatmeal or yoghurt.

• Blend into smoothies.

• Add to granola bowls.

4. Fruit Salad or Dessert

• Combine with berries, melon, or mango.

• Drizzle with honey and a squeeze of lemon.

• Grill peach halves for caramelised sweetness.

5. Savoury Pairing

• Add slices to salads with rocket, burrata, or grilled chicken.

• Pair with cheese (brie, goat cheese).
