Nectarine Basics

In Season: Nectarines and other stone fruits are in season during the summer months and reach their peak in July and August.

What to Look For: Look for fragrant nectarines with taut skin. Avoid those with wrinkles and bruises. They should have some give when gently pressed; handle carefully, and carry no more than four per bag.

How to Store: Although best enjoyed without delay, ripe stone fruits can be refrigerated for three to five days. Leave firmer ones at room temperature to ripen.
