Peachy keen, jellybean

How cute are these flat peaches?

This type of peach goes by a few names: chinese flat peaches, saturn peaches, or more often just plain old donut peaches. I foung these in my friendly neighbourhood greengrocer, along with my first lychees of the year.

I thought they were a little sweeter than regular peaches, and perhaps a touch nutty, as if the flavour of the almondy kernal had seeped into the flesh. But most importantly the juice ran down my arm when I bit into it!
