ozgirl Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 There were a couple of stands with really great peaches this past Sunday at Dupont. Good prices to boot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPW Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Picked up some peaches Saturday at the new, but still lame, market in SS. Next week peaches should be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marketfan Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Anyone interested in Saturn peaches? Reid has them at the Mount Pleasant Farmers' market on Saturday, 9-1, Mount Pleasant Street between Lamont and Park And here is what Russ Parson said in the LA Times: "Saturn peaches: Whether you call them Saturn, Donut, bagel, saucer or peento, demand for these flat peaches is going over the moon. A rarity not so long ago (only about 50 tons were sold in 1996), sales more than doubled between 2000 and 2005 to a whopping 4,000 tons. Why? Partly because they look so cute, of course. Beyond that, they are very sweet, nearly candy-like with low acidity and white melting flesh. Saturn peaches are descended from an old Chinese variety called peento or pan-tao (it translates rather prosaically as "flat peach")" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
