Peach Production In Nepal
Product Information
Prunus Persica, more commonly known as the peach is native to China. Peaches are grown on trees; the trees bear sweet edible fruit. It is a deciduous tree and grows five to ten meters tall (New world encyclopaedia, 2008). The peach tree is the most widely grown stone fruit; they are grown in temperate zones all over the world. There are many different types of peaches; over one hundred different varieties may go through one grocery store alone in a season. The different types have different looks and attributes (HMC, n.d.). The peach provides nutritional value for humans, for example, vitamins C and A, Potassium, Magnesium and Iron. It also is a good source of dietary fibre while low in calories. The peach has a single large seed surrounded by the fleshy, edible fruit.
