: How to identify the authenticity of Yangshan peaches

1. Identification of packaging

Look for the traditional Chinese character "Yangshan" on the packaging (Yangshan Government The registered trademark is only for local peaches in Yangshan and must be exactly the same to be authentic)

Local growers in Yangshan can be authorized to use the trademark after approval by the government. If the peach packaging box you buy does not have the word "Yangshan" on it, it means that it is not a local peach from Yangshan.

2. Look at the shape

Authentic Yangshan peaches are plump and round, with a flat or sunken top. An important feature that distinguishes the authentic Yangshan peach from other peaches is that the top of its fruit is not pointed, but flat or somewhat concave.

3. Look at the color

Authentic Yangshan peaches are white and rosy. When mature, the color is mostly milky yellow or milky white.

Due to different cultivation habits, the colors of authentic Yangshan peaches are mostly milky yellow, milky white, white with red, but generally not all red.

4. Look at the hardness

Authentic Yangshan peaches have a soft and waxy texture when ripe, soft to the touch, juicy and sweet after kneading. Under the natural climate and volcanic geological conditions, authentic Yangshan peaches are soft peaches with delicate flesh, soft and easily soluble. It needs to be emphasized that as the weather gets hotter, the taste of Yangshan Zhongwan peaches will become harder, so I just want to experience the peaches that can be smoked!

5. Weigh yourself

Authentic Yangshan peaches go through a standardized planting process. The large peach weighs about 6-7, the medium peach weighs about 5-6, and the Momo weighs about 4-5. Because farmers have different planting techniques, the specifications of the peaches produced by each family are also different.
