What are cling peaches?

In: Peaches and Nectarines [Edit categories]

Answer:

Peaches are commonly classified into two groups:

(1) freestone peaches, where the flesh of the fruit easily separates from the pit

(2) clingstone or cling peaches, where the flesh adheres firmly to the pit and is difficult to separate

In general, many varieties of cling peaches tend to be firmer and milder, while freestone peaches tend to be softer and more tangy flavored.
