According to the Municipal Agriculture and Rural Committee, with the advent of midsummer, the yellow peach planting base in the suburbs of Shanghai ushered in the most anticipated harvest season of the year. A number of new and excellent varieties of yellow peaches selected and bred by Shanghai agricultural research units have been sweetly listed, which not only enriches the market supply, but also brings delicious and healthy food to consumers.

Walking into the Xianfeng Agricultural Yellow Peach Planting Base in Fengxian District, you can see that the fruit farmers are busy selecting and picking yellow peaches with suitable ripeness in the peach forest, sorting and packing, so as to ensure that each yellow peach delivered to the public has both high-quality appearance and good taste of ripening on the tree. Fruit farmers now mainly pick "Jinguan" yellow peaches, this variety is more than half a month earlier than "Jinxiu" on the market, because of the beautiful fruit shape, good taste, very popular in the market.
The orchard's yellow peaches are carefully covered with thick, double-layered bags to reduce pesticide use and protect against pests and diseases. Tear open a fruit bag, you can see that the yellow peach inside is round in shape, the skin is evenly colored, and the orange yellow is full of light powder, which looks particularly attractive. Cut open a yellow peach, and you can see the delicate flesh inside. The newly picked ones on the tree are not easy to peel, and the flesh texture is between crisp peaches and soft peaches. The sugar content of "Jinguan" yellow peach can generally reach 14 degrees, crisp and refreshing, and the meat is delicate and juicy without obvious fiber, and the taste is very good.
The listing period of "Jinguan" is around July 20, which can fill the vacancy of no high-quality yellow peaches in the Shanghai market during this period. Yellow peaches with good quality and high ripeness are usually not resistant to storage and transportation, and one of the ways to extend the shelf life while ensuring the taste is to reasonably plant varieties with different ripening periods and excellent quality. In order to prolong the shelf life of yellow peaches, the peach team purified and rejuvenated the existing varieties, and gradually selected and bred a series of high-quality new varieties through the combination of traditional and modern molecular genetic breeding theories.
The market period of a single variety of peach is usually 10-15 days, after the "Jinguan", the orchard will also have "Jinxing" on the market, after the "Jinxing", the Shanghai suburbs of the leading variety "Jinxiu" will take over the baton. "Jinxing" is also one of the popular varieties in the suburbs of Shanghai, with the characteristics of nearly round, symmetrical, round and flat top, obvious suture line, etc., the average weight of a single fruit is about 250 grams, the sugar content is about 14 degrees, the peel and flesh are pure yellow, and the fresh food quality is excellent.
