What Are Donut Peaches?
Donut peaches are a smaller, cuter alternative to your traditional peach. They’re called “donut peaches” because they have a donut-like shape with a “thumbprint”-like shape in the middle. They’re the descendants of a wild peach in China called pan tao and are low in acid and high in sugar, making them perfect for a sweet recipe.
