Peaches are soft, round fruits with fuzzy skin that feels like velvet when you touch it! They are very sweet and juicy, especially when they are ripe in the warm summertime. Peaches come from China, where people have been growing them for over 4,000 years.
Peaches are full of vitamins and fiber that help keep your body healthy. You can eat peaches fresh, slice them onto cereal, bake them into a warm peach cobbler, or grill them for a caramel-sweet summer treat. If you bite into a really ripe peach, the juice might dribble right down your chin!
