Nectarine, Yellow and White

Nectarines are a smooth-skinned variety of stone fruit, with a bright, shiny exterior that can range in color from yellow to deep red. Inside, their flesh is similar to peaches, with a sweet, juicy taste and a firm texture that can be either yellow or white. Nectarines are slightly firmer and have a more intense flavor than peaches, with a hint of tartness. Like peaches, they can be freestone or clingstone, depending on whether the flesh clings to the pit. Nectarines are enjoyed fresh, in desserts, or grilled for a delicious treat.

Difference in Freestone and Clingstone

Freestone: In these nectarines, the flesh easily separates from the pit, making them convenient to slice and eat. They are typically sweeter and juicier, and are preferred for fresh eating and baking because of their ease of preparation. 

Clingstone: The flesh of clingstone nectarines clings tightly to the pit, making them a bit more challenging to separate. They are usually softer and slightly more fibrous than freestone varieties. They are usually harvested earlier in the season.
