Nectarines: photo by Cliff Hutson

Nectarine, (Prunus persica), is smooth-skinned peach of the rose family (Rosaceae. A genetic variant of common peaches. The expression of a recessive allele is thought to be responsible for the smooth skin of nectarine fruits, which lack the fuzzy trichomes (plant hairs) characteristic of peach fruits. Nectarines are a source of vitamins A and C and are commonly eaten fresh or cooked in conserves, jams, and pies.
