The peach tree is a tree of the family Rosaceae, originating, according to Candolle, from Central China. The peach should only be harvested ripe and consumed soon after being caught. Eaten in excess or when not well ripe, the peach becomes indigestible, especially for the delicate stomachs. We should avoid the mistake of eating peach as dessert, especially after a meal in which there had been a mix of dishes. In order to take full advantage of its medicinal and nutritional qualities, we must eat it naturally. The peach, however, lends itself well to making preserves, jams and jams.
