NECTARINE

A nectarine is a smooth-skinned variety of peach that shares many characteristics with its fuzzy cousin but is distinguished by its sleek, fuzz-free skin. The fruit has a similar size, shape, and texture to a peach, but with a more vibrant, often slightly glossy appearance. Its flavor is sweet and slightly tangy, making it a popular summer fruit.

Nectarines are a good source of vitamin C, dietary fiber, and antioxidants. They are low in calories, making them a healthy snack. They also contain potassium, vitamins A and K, and small amounts of iron and magnesium.
