Bursting with fresh summer sweetness, these lesser-known peaches are worth scooping up if you see them at the market!

Also known as a Saturn peach, this pleasantly "smushed" variety is a bit tricky to slice uniformly. But that's part of what makes the peaches special--they're a little goofy looking, but the flavor can't be beat. Chomp into this tender and juicy peach, and you'll find that it's delicate, sweet and less acidic than traditional kinds.

Because of their odd shape, donut peaches are difficult to peel. They're best for snacking out of hand or in recipes where that deliciously fuzzy skin can be left intact. Salsa and muffins are two personal favorites.
