Satellite Peach (a.k.a. Donut Peach) is a unique fruit related to flat peaches from China. They are slightly rounded and squat, almost like a small apple, with a tiny pit and textured like a peach with a soft, velvety skin. Satellite peaches are available from late spring through summer, and when they are ripe they have a creamy, juicy and sweet flavor. Nutrition-wise, satellite peaches contain fiber, which aids in digestion, plus they are rich in vitamins A and C that promote healthy skin. They are also a good source of antioxidants lycopene and lutein, which can be helpful in preventing heart disease, macular degeneration, and cancer.
