Message from Maggie:  After my how to pick a pineapple post, I got a question about peaches.  Before you reach for a peach, below are some tips.

Instructions:

• Smell:  You are seeking a fragrant sweet smell.
• See:  Choose a peach that is vibrant in tone and color. If it has any green put it back- it was picked too early!
• Feel: Gently press the shoulder and tip where the stem was located.  If it starts to give its ripe and ready to eat.
• Plan ahead: If you are purchasing more than one peach, you should buy various degrees of ripeness to match your eating timeline.
