I swear I remember peaches being really soft and basically melting as soon as you bite into them from when I was child. Nowadays whenever I buy they are much firmer. Am I buying unripe peaches? Is this Mandela effect? Am I thinking of a different similar fruit (nectarines? I swear I tried those too. It definitely wasn't apricot)

You are perhaps remembering overripe peaches or canned peaches?

It's likely that a combination of breeding practices, harvest timing, and transportation methods has led to the firmer peaches you are experiencing today. This phenomenon is not necessarily a "Mandela effect," but rather a result of agricultural and market changes over the years. If you're seeking that soft, juicy peach experience, consider looking for locally grown varieties or farmers' market options where peaches are often picked at peak ripeness.

If a peach (or nectarine, a superior fruit btw) is hard, it isn't ripe enough to eat yet. Stick that fucker in a brown paper bag, leave the top open, and check it in a couple of days.

The ones from when I was child might have literally come from my grandpa's farm so this tracks

I just pulled up a time lapse of a melting icecream and the cone gets all soggy and gives out it was hosed up and sad in a weird way like the scene from the brave little toaster where the flower dies

Today's peaches have a delicate, subtle taste for a refined palate, the best ones in fact, are hardly like eating a peach at all! But I assure you, they're oh so juicy!! *bites into a water balloon*

I know it's easy to get bogged down with the media always pointing out small and hard peaches compared to those from a few years ago, but they're actually the most tender on average that they've ever been, and the examples they show are cherrypicked outliers. 100 years ago, they used to have to use peachcrackers to get to that sweet, sweet nectar. Now the drat things are just ornamental. *points to a strange mousetrap-like device with a tiny mallet and a picture of a peach on the base that's hanging over the fireplace*

You want a soft peach that still has a little bite to it for eating. The soft mushy ones are for fuckin.

Sorry OP, we had a production line issue at the peach factory and the last couple lots shipped out lacking the right amount of peach softener. We were hoping you wouldn't notice.

peaches are supposed to have a little bit of a give to them, like a cherry or a plum. if you buy a peach that's hard, you can put it in a paper bag on your counter for a couple of days and it will continue to ripen. however, peaches that have a greenish tint were picked too early and don't contain enough ethylene to ripen itself, and instead it'll just sort of get soft and mealy instead of juicy. only buy peaches with fully golden undertones. a really juicy ripe peach right off the tree is unbeatable obviously but you can't ship them very far because they'll pulp themselves in transit.

Blow posted:Strawberries once had flavour. Mass produced and out of season strawberries get picked underripe so they transport better (sometimes they are transported for weeks), then right before they go on sale are blasted with ethylene gas to artificially ripen the outside to make them look nice and red. This is why you get bullshit strawberries that look red and delicious on the outside but are super white and tart on the inside. You should only ever buy strawberries in season and local. They will be naturally ripened and red and juicy all the way through. Or better yet, grow them yourself. All you need is a balcony or ledge that gets some direct sun and you can grow delicious strawberries yourself!
