Nectarines are a good source of Fiber and Vitamin C. To
pick a good nectarine, pay attention to the texture. It
should give slightly to pressure and have a sweet aroma.
Nectarines continue to ripen after being picked. To speed
up the process place them in a brown paper bag. They are
the most flavorful at room temperature. Contrary to popular
belief, a nectarine is not a fuzzless peach. The name nectarine
comes from the greek mythology word Nekter or "Drink of
the gods".
