Noon: Sweet Treat For Summer

Looking for the sweetest, juiciest peach? Then you are in luck  - Idaho peaches are now in season. Idaho’s peaches are extra sweet due to the perfect summer growing conditions – warm days and cool nights lead to maximum sugar production.  And, due to their perishable and fragile nature, out of state peaches are usually picked green and hard to allow for shipping.  Idaho peaches on the other hand are tree-ripened and picked by hand, leading to a more flavorful fruit and a superior choice for all your summer recipes/Leah Clark, Idaho Preferred.

Question: Is there an Idaho peach that can compare for sweetness with those of California's Sacramento Valley?
