In a few sentences

In brief

The preparation of the peach begins from the state of the fruit. Slitting around the pit is a guide, but not every fruit divides equally easily.

Useful to know

To further refine peaches, the university leadership offers a paper bag at room temperature. Before use, the fruits are rinsed under running water. When choosing, it is recommended to avoid a green tint. [1]

The described way of cutting is a cut around the stone, gently turning the two halves and separating the stone. [1] It works according to the real fruit: if the halves are not easily released, do not compensate with a force movement to the hand.

For yogurt or fruit salad the form can be tailored to the portion. Ideal halves are not needed if the final dish requires small pieces. It is more important that the stone is carefully separated and the resulting parts are comfortable to eat.

Plan the use according to maturity, instead of leaving all the fruits for the same day. The guidelines here are for a fresh product, not for preserving or storing compote.
