I have a question about peaches...

Is there any way to know, before cutting one open, if it's a cling or a freestone?

I bought peaches from 2 different places last weekend, and the local ones were cling, and the "southern" peaches were freestone. Both tasted really good, but the clings were more of a pain to cut up.

I'd love to be able to tell the difference when purchasing, if possible.

 
Nice idea...but usually fruitless

since I find most of the grocers are clueless.
It may be that unless you know who owns the trees and can ask that person, the only way to know for sure is to cut one open.
I was hoping for a different answer/suggestion.

 
The only way to tell a cling and freestone peach apart is to cut one open. If this option is not a v

viable one, ask the grocer. He should be able to tell you or at least look at the box the fruit came in. The box should identify if the fruit is cling or freestone.

 
annd, they would probably cut one open at the store if you asked, they do that here smileys/smile.gif
