When looking for peaches, look for brightly-colored, plump fruit. I look for a bright-red to reddish- orange color in the skin. Peaches need to be ripe when picked so look for ones that feel slightly soft to the touch. Make sure you don´t mistake bruising for softness. Also avoid any that are greenish (a sign of being picked too early). You can soften a peach at room temperature but it will not ripen any further. Peaches can be kept at room temperature, but will stay a few days longer if kept in plastic and refrigerated.
