White nectarines (Prunus persica var. nucipersica) are smooth-skinned stone fruits with pale white to creamy flesh and a sweet, fragrant flavor. Unlike peaches, nectarines lack the characteristic fuzzy skin, although the two fruits belong to the same species. White nectarines are generally sweeter and less acidic than yellow nectarines, giving them a delicate, floral flavor when fully ripe. They provide fiber, potassium, and a diverse mixture of polyphenols and can be enjoyed fresh or added to salads, breakfast bowls, smoothies, salsas, baked goods, and grilled or roasted dishes.
