Shelf Life: 3 Days

Korean peaches, also known as "Baek-il Peaches" or "Baek-il Gam," are a type of peach that is native to Korea. They are known for their distinct flavor, sweetness, and juicy flesh. Here are some benefits of Korean peaches and how to eat them:

How to Eat Korean Peaches:

1. Wash Thoroughly: Start by washing the peach under running water to remove any dirt or pesticides from the skin.

2. Peeling (Optional): You can choose to peel the peach if you prefer not to eat the skin. To do this, make a small incision at the bottom of the peach and blanch it in boiling water for about 30 seconds. Then, transfer it to a bowl of ice water, which will make the skin easier to peel.

3. Slice or Eat Whole: Once cleaned, you can slice the peach into wedges or eat it whole, depending on your preference. Many people enjoy biting into a ripe Korean peach to enjoy its juicy and sweet flesh.

4. Added to Recipes: Korean peaches can be used in various recipes. You can add slices to salads, yogurt, or cereal for a delightful burst of flavor. They can also be used in smoothies, fruit tarts, or as a topping for ice cream.

5. Preserve: If you have an abundance of Korean peaches, consider making peach preserves, jams, or pies to enjoy their flavor year-round.

6. Ripening: If your Korean peaches are not ripe when you purchase them, you can let them ripen at room temperature for a few days. To speed up the ripening process, place them in a paper bag with a banana or apple.

Benefits of Korean Peaches:

1. Rich in Vitamins: Korean peaches are a good source of vitamins, particularly vitamin C, which is essential for a healthy immune system and skin.

2. Dietary Fiber: They contain dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and can help maintain a healthy weight.

3. Antioxidants: Like many fruits, Korean peaches contain antioxidants that can help protect your cells from oxidative damage.

4. Hydration: Due to their high water content, Korean peaches can help keep you hydrated, especially during hot summer months.

5. Low in Calories: They are relatively low in calories, making them a healthy and satisfying snack.
   
   Remember that the sweetness and flavor of Korean peaches are at their peak when they are fully ripe, so be patient if they are not quite ready when you buy them. Enjoying them fresh and ripe is the best way to savor their delicious taste and reap their nutritional benefits.
