“Sweet as nectar”
Almost all B.C. nectarines are grown in the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys.
About:
A ripe nectarine is similar to a peach, but without the fuzz. Nectarines are soft and flavourful, and a great source of vitamin A, vitamin C, fiber, and potassium.
Most Common Varieties:
- Crimson Gold
- Early Sungrand
- Firebrite
- Redgold
Did you know?
- To speed up the ripening process, nectarines can be placed in a paper bag and stored at room temperature.
- The bright orange-red colour of nectarines is due to its high beta-carotene content.
- Ripe nectarines are handpicked from the trees to prevent bruising and damage.
