Peaches
**When they're in season: Middle of June through the end of September **Health benefits: Good source of potassium, folate, and vitamin A. **How to buy: Fruit should be round and firm, but not too hard or too soft. Color should be bright yellow with a rosy blush -- avoid fruit tinged with green because they won't ripen. **How to store: Place them unwashed in a paper bag. Unripened fruit can go on the kitchen counter and ripened fruit should go in the fridge. Watch them closely as once ripe they can rot very quickly. **Fun fact: If you don't like to eat the fuzzy skins you can easily peel a peach by dipping it briefly in boiling water (only 10-30 seconds) and then into ice water. The skin should slip off easily by hand or with a small knife.
