➤ When: Although nectarines are available from midspring to late September, their peak months are July and August.
➤ What to Look For: For best flavor, look for tree-ripened nectarines at a farmers’ market because they’ll usually have a sweeter, juicier flavor than those in the store. Nectarines should have a sweet scent and yield to gentle pressure. Avoid nectarines having a green tinge; some will still have their stems attached.
➤ Why: Although desirable just for their taste, nectarines are also loaded with potassium and vitamins, making your RealAge younger.
➤ How to Use: Nectarines are versatile. Eat nectarines as a snack or bake them in a pie, compote, or cobbler. They can be used in salads and sweet sauces or as a dessert topping. Brush them with a bit of barbecue sauce and toss them on the grill. For a quick fruit salsa, chop nectarines with jalapeƱo peppers, green onions, lime, and a little sugar.
