Description

Peaches are drupes or fleshy stone fruits of which there are thousands of varieties. They grow in the Prunus Persica peach tree.

Origins

Recent archaeological findings show that peach cultivation goes back to 3,000 years ago in China. Having probably taken the Silk Road, the peach went to Persia, where it got its scientific name from Prunus Persica, before reaching the Greeks and Romans. In the Middle Ages, its cultivation spread throughout the European continent.
