Common peach, Prunus persica. Description, illustrations of the plant Peach (bot. Malum persicum - Persian apple). Myths, traditions, symbolism
A fruit highly prized in antiquity, introduced in the XNUMXst century BC. from the East, he was often frightened with an apricot. When a laurel tree outgrew a peach tree in the garden of Emperor Alexander Severus, it was interpreted as an omen of victory over the Persians. In ancient China, the peach was considered a symbol of immortality or longevity, the peach blossom was a symbol of a fresh young girl, but also of frivolous women and "peach flower madness", that is, confusion of feelings upon reaching puberty. According to legend, the fairy goddess Xi-wang-mu had a garden on Mount Kunlun, in which peaches of immortality ripen for a millennium. On this occasion, a great festival of spirits and "immortals" was held there. The wood of the peach tree was considered to exorcise demons, the peach branches on the outer door were supposed to keep demons out during the New Year holiday, and the figurines of the gatekeepers were carved from the wood of the peach tree. In the beliefs, "caves with peach springs" are the gates to the other world (the afterlife), while the "peach spring" is a poetic description of the female genital organ. Author: Biedermann G.
Common peach, Persica vulgaris Mill. Botanical description, history of origin, nutritional value, cultivation, use in cooking, medicine, industry
Tree up to 5 m high, with a wide crown. The leaves are petiolate, elongated, pointed at the apex. Flowers solitary, on short stalks, pink or red. The fruit is a drupe on a short stalk, elongated or rounded; flesh is juicy, yellow. The stone is very strong, easily separated from the pulp. Blooms in late March - April. The birthplace of peach is China. The plant was introduced into cultivation over 4000 years ago. In its homeland, it was considered an object of worship. He was sung. As a medicinal plant, the peach was not popular with the ancestors. It was believed that the fruits upset the stomach and cause fever. The peach came to Europe from China through Persia (hence the name of the fruit). Currently, this crop occupies the third place in the world in terms of yield and area of orchards after apple and pear. Peach is a culture of light and heat-loving, frost-resistant. Withstands short-term frosts down to -20 °C, but dies at -25 °C. The plant especially suffers from spring frosts during flowering. The peach grows well on well-drained gentle slopes; prefers ordinary carbonate chernozems, quite moist. It is propagated by seeds, and to preserve the variety - by grafting on seedlings of peach, almond and apricot. Annual grafted seedlings are planted in a permanent place at a distance of 5-6 m from each other. Tree pruning is carried out regularly. In the second or third year after planting, the tree begins to bear fruit and yields annually for 20-30 years. The fruits ripen in June - October. Peaches contain a lot of sugars, pectin, carotene, vitamins C, PP; there are essential oils, organic acids, vitamins of group B. The set of minerals (iron, potassium, magnesium, calcium, etc.) in the fruits is such that thanks to them, peaches contribute to the formation of blood hemoglobin and maintaining acid-base balance in the body. The seeds contain a large amount of fatty oil, as well as essential oil and amygdalin glycoside.
Since ancient times, peaches have been considered a general tonic. In folk medicine, decoctions from the leaves and flowers of the plant are used for rheumatism, headache, and some gastrointestinal diseases. Infusion of flowers is used as a laxative and diuretic. Peaches are considered an unsurpassed dietary product. Due to the high content of potassium, peaches are included in the diet of patients with cardiovascular diseases, and the presence of easily digestible iron makes it possible to recommend them for anemia. They are also useful as a means of promoting the digestion of fatty foods; have antiemetic properties. The oil obtained from peach seeds is a valuable product for the medical and perfume industries. Peach is used in cosmetic practice: masks from its fruits give the skin velvety, freshness, elasticity. The aroma, appearance, taste qualities have earned peach wide fame. The fruits are consumed fresh; compote, jam, marmalade, candied fruit, jam are made from them. Peach finds application not only as a food plant. Dense, hard, highly polished reddish wood is used for the manufacture of turning and plumbing tools. Peach is unusually beautiful in bloom and is considered an ornamental plant. It has excellent honey properties. Authors: Kretsu L.G., Domashenko L.G., Sokolov M.D.
Common peach, Persica vulgaris Mill. Botanical description, habitat and habitats, chemical composition, use in medicine and industry
Tree 3-5 m tall, Rosaceae family. Leaves alternate, elliptic, 8-15 cm long, 2-3,5 cm wide. Flowers pink or red, numerous, unequal in size, sessile. Blooms in late April - early May. The fruits are juicy drupes 3-7-12 cm in diameter, covered with delicate velvety-pubescent skin. The pulp of the fruit has a sweet or sour-sweet taste, juicy, fragrant, the stone is deeply sinuously furrowed. The seed is usually bitter, sometimes sweet. Range and habitats. Widely cultivated in many southern regions of the world. In the wild, peach is found in Northern and Central China, India, and Afghanistan. Chemical composition. The seed kernels contain up to 57% fatty oil, represented by glycerides of palmitic, oleic and stearic acids (15,6%), sitosterol was also found. In addition, amygdalin glycoside (0,4-0,7%) was found in the seeds, which forms benzaldehyde, hydrocyanic acid and glucose during hydrolysis, as well as bitter almond essential oil. The fruit pulp contains up to 15% sugars, organic acids (malic, citric, etc.), ascorbic acid, essential oil, consisting of linalol esters of formic, acetic valeric and caprylic acids; acetaldehyde and cadinel. The bark contains naringenin and persicoside, which are flavonoids.
Application in medicine. Peach fruits are used as a diuretic and in dietary nutrition. In Tibetan medicine, doctors use oil extracted from peaches to treat conjunctivitis and prepare eye ointments on it. Other uses. The greatest benefit to a person is the use of fresh ripe fruits. But peaches do not store very well, so in industrial cultivation for sale in a whole form, they are not fully ripe. For the same reason (the reason for short storage), peaches (both grown on an industrial scale and in their own garden) are often tried to be processed into juices and canned food. Peaches are also dried. Peach fruits contain a large amount of sugar (from 5 to 15%), free organic acids (malic, citric, tartaric, etc., in the amount of 0.2 to 0,7%), B vitamins, vitamin C (ascorbic acid), provitamin A (carotene), as well as vitamins K, E and PP. In addition, the fruits have potassium, iron. Authors: Turova A.D., Sapozhnikova E.N.
Peach ordinary. Botanical description of the plant, areas of growth and ecology, economic importance, applications
A tree up to 5-7 m high of the pink family. China is considered the birthplace of the peach, where it is found in the wild. Blossoms before the appearance of leaves, in April - May. Fruits are oval, fluffy, greenish or yellow-orange, often with a blush, up to 10 cm long or more, juicy, sweet with a slight bitterness, fragrant. The stone is pitted-striated, oval. There are varieties with naked (nectarines), as well as with flattened fruits (Ferghana peach). This is one of the most important fruit crops in the subtropics and warm temperate countries. Peach is successfully cultivated in the Caucasus, Central Asia, Moldova, southern Ukraine, mainly in the Crimea. Fruits contain up to 15% sugars, organic acids (malic, tartaric, citric, quinic, chloragenic), vitamins A (up to 0,6 mg%), C (up to 20-25 mg%), dyes - carotenoids, lycopene and others , as well as essential oils that determine their smell. The composition of the seeds includes fatty oil (up to 60%), glycoside amygdalin and essential bitter-almond oil (up to a percent). Peach fruits are used fresh for making compote, jam, jam, candied fruits, as well as for drying ("whispered"). Seed oil is equivalent to almond oil, it is used for food and for medical purposes. Fruits enhance the secretory activity of the digestive glands, promote the digestion of indigestible and fatty foods, and have antiemetic properties. The leaves and flowers have been used in folk medicine as a laxative. Authors: Dudnichenko L.G., Krivenko V.V.
Peach. The history of growing a plant, economic importance, cultivation, use in cooking
What is a peach fruit? The peach belongs to the extensive Rosaceae family, rich in edible plants. Its close relatives are almond, apricot and plum. There are about 20 species of peach, but only one has been introduced into cultivation - the common peach, Persica vulgaris. Its homeland is Central and Northern China, where this crop was cultivated more than 4 thousand years ago. From there, it penetrated into India, Central Asia and Iran, and then to the Caucasus and the Mediterranean. Europeans brought P. vulgaris to the Americas, where it thrived, and the United States is now the world's number one producer of this fruit. Johnny Forsythe, one of the heroes of the Galsworthy saga, who fled to the States from unhappy love, took up peach cultivation, and succeeded a lot in this. None of the fruit crops has such a variety of varieties. They differ in the color of the flesh, which varies from almost white to orange. Fruits come in different sizes and shapes, including round, ovoid, with an elongated tip, like a lemon, flattened (they are also called Chinese turnips). The bones are no less diverse, and not only their shape and size deserve attention, but also the pattern: longitudinally ribbed or parallel-ribbed. And given the difference in the shape of flowers, leaf venation and other features, some experts suggest dividing the common peach species into several subspecies or even species. But we, pragmatic eaters, will leave these questions to the discretion of botanists and taxonomists. Nectarine or bruignon? The fruit of a peach is called a drupe. It is a woody hard "bone" surrounded by juicy fleshy pulp and dense skin. The simplest classification of peach varieties is based on the nature of the fruit. In real peaches, the fruits are pubescent, and the pulp is easily separated from the stone. If the pulp does not separate, the fruit is called pavia. Varieties with hairless fruits and a separating stone are nectarines, smooth-skinned with pulp adherent to the stone - bruignons. Nectarines and brugyons are also called bald peaches, and these are undoubtedly peaches, and not a hybrid with a plum or, as some citizens think, with an apple. However, there are experts who believe that nectarines were once obtained from cherry plum as a result of accidental crossing, but their point of view is not generally accepted. At the same time, let's dispel another misconception spread by unenlightened trade workers. The fig peach is not a peach-fig hybrid, such a cross is not possible. The simply flattened shape of the fruit resembles dried figs, while fresh ones, by the way, have a pear-shaped shape (see "Chemistry and Life", 2009. No. 11). What are the benefits of peaches? Peach fruits contain from 5 to 15% sugars, 0,2-0,7% acids, mainly malic, citric and tartaric, B vitamins, ascorbic acid, vitamins K, E, PP, and carotene (provitamin A). In varieties with yellow flesh, it is more than in white and pink-fleshed fruits. A medium-sized peach contains 285 mg of potassium, which regulates the functioning of the nervous and muscular systems, is responsible for metabolism, and strengthens the heart muscle. In terms of iron content, peaches are almost twice as high as apples, apricots, pears, plums, persimmons, and one and a half times quince, and therefore are useful for anemia. Magnesium has a beneficial effect on the nervous system and protects P. vulgaris eaters from stress. The fruits contain a lot of soluble fiber (pectins), which stimulates intestinal activity and suppresses putrefactive processes in the digestive tract, so peaches are recommended for people suffering from constipation and heartburn. In addition, they enhance the secretory activity of the stomach and help it digest fatty foods. Due to the fact that the fiber is soluble, peaches are easily digested, so they are useful for the elderly, young children, patients with stomach ulcers and intestinal inflammation. For ulcers, varieties with a low acid content are even specially bred. Peaches are an ideal food to get out of therapeutic starvation, as well as a valuable dietary product: the energy value of 100 g of fruit is approximately 45 kcal, and a glass of juice is only 60 kcal. They are recommended for rheumatism, cardiovascular diseases, gout and diseases of the kidneys, liver and gallbladder, as well as to prevent vomiting. In general, what is tasty is also useful, but not for everyone. First of all, it is better to refrain from peaches for patients with diabetes - the fruit is too sweet. For those who are forced to monitor the sugar content in fruits, it is better to choose pubescent, early-ripening varieties with a separating stone. But attention - pubescent peaches can cause allergies. What's inside a peach pit? There is a white nucleolus, rich in fatty acids. An aromatic oil is squeezed out of it, containing the same useful components as the pulp of the fruit. Peach oil is expensive, it is used mainly in cosmetology for skin and hair care, and in Tibetan medicine for the treatment of conjunctivitis. But peach oil can also be added to food, it has a pleasant aroma and delicate taste with a slight bitterness. Previously, whole nucleoli were put into the broth. Unfortunately, they cannot be eaten due to the bitterness caused by the glycoside amygdalin. However, varieties with sweet kernels have recently appeared, similar in taste to almonds. No matter how good peach pits are, their weight, according to experts, should not exceed 3-5% of the weight of the fruit, otherwise, too much pulp must be removed along with the pits during canning.
How are peaches eaten? Fresh fruits are tastier and healthier. The best option is when the ripe fruit itself fell from the branch, and you picked it up. Unfortunately, the ideal is rarely achievable. For trade, peaches are harvested slightly unripe, otherwise the delicate fruit will not withstand transportation and storage. Fruits plucked too early do not ripen when lying down, but shrivel and become inedible. The age of fresh peaches is not long, so the fruits are processed into juice, canned, frozen and dried. A peach dried with a pit is called a "whisper" or "shaptala" with the accent on the last syllable (from the Persian "shaftalu", which means "peach"). However, it is more convenient to eat dried fruits without stones, therefore, not very juicy varieties with a well-separated stone are preferable for drying. For jams and compotes, fruits with yellow pulp are used, because it is denser than white. Delicate fibrous peaches do not withstand heat treatment well, they are easily boiled and loosened, which makes the compote look unappetizing. Very good for canning nectarines. It is also important that the skin is easy to remove from the pulp, and the fruits do not darken while they are cut. (Peaches containing a lot of tannins darken, oxidizing in air.) And do not try to save money by buying hard unripe fruits for compote. Boiling them in syrup won't make them any tastier. What foods go well with peach? Since fresh peaches aid the digestion of fatty foods, they make a good dessert after a hearty meal and an excellent fruity side dish for grilled meats. Peaches go well in salads with vegetables and other fruits and successfully set off dairy products: ice cream, cream, cheese. Here, for example, is such a recipe. Pitted peach halves are stuffed with cottage cheese, grated with sugar and ground walnuts, and served, garnished with whipped cream. And you can make peach cookies. Fruits are cut in half, peeled and pitted, and butter and sugar are placed in the resulting hole. The halves are placed on slices of wheat bread, spread with butter, lightly sprinkled with water and baked in the oven with medium heat for 10 minutes. What about a drink? In addition to juices and compotes, wine is made from peaches. If you insist it along with the nucleoli, it will have an almond flavor. If you don't want to drink wine, prepare a soft drink. Six large peeled peaches are simmered in a hot syrup of four cups of water and a cup of sugar, cooled and rubbed through a sieve. Then four cups of tea or mineral water with lemon slices are added to this liquid puree. This drink is sometimes called peach tea, but real tea is made from the leaves. How to make peach tea? Ordinary consumers of peaches usually get the fruits, but the leaves are also of great value, from which a useful decoction is obtained. Peach leaves can be harvested for the future, but they must undergo special processing. First, they are fermented, for which they are kept over boiling water for about 10 minutes, and then they are cooled over ice (do not lower them into water, otherwise fermentation will stop). The cooled leaves are dried on paper, covered with a napkin, and stored in the freezer in an airtight container. A decoction of peach leaves, rich in biologically active substances, is useful for the same ailments as the fruits: for rheumatism, constipation, gastrointestinal diseases, headaches, and for cleaning the kidneys. But right, no matter how useful the peach is, it is often eaten not for medical reasons, but for pleasure. Author: Ruchkina N.
A brief moment of peach. Featured article
The life of a peach is short. Compare: an olive tree lives two thousand years, an apple tree two hundred, and a peach only fifteen! Gardeners use his gifts even less. True, in mountainous Dagestan these terms are increased, but only twice. And in height it grows there not by four meters, but by eight, but this is an exception. And yet, despite this shortcoming, the peach is loved and revered, it seems, by everyone. And especially workers in the canning industry. After pineapples, it is in second place in the world! A good peach fruit is a work of art. No wonder the artist V. Serov depicted him in his painting "Girl with Peaches". Pale pink, the color of the dawn, with a deep red tan. True, not in all countries the climate allows you to get the perfect blush. In Japan, the fruits are pale. Japanese gardeners have always been frustrated by this. The products did not meet international standards. So they came up with the following. A few days before the harvest, sheets of aluminum as wide as sheets are brought into the garden. Lay out in the aisles. They are like mirrors reflecting light onto the trees. And the fruits immediately get the missing color density. This operation turned out to be beneficial from another point of view. Aluminum sheets repel birds and even... aphids! So that the fruits do not crack and pests do not spoil them, in the old days, the Japanese enclosed each ovary in a paper bag soaked in paraffin. Removed the bag just before cleaning. Now this is not required. Aluminum helped. The quadrupeds are also delighted with the peach. The fox especially loves him. The juicy pulp does not particularly appeal to her, but the pit... Cunning Patrikeevna knows well that the pit contains a seed, fat, like that of an apricot. And with the same incomparable apricot scent. Of course, the cheat does not pick fruit from the trees, but in the spring, when people begin to sow seeds in the nursery, she comes at night and digs everything clean. Gardeners of the Ararat Valley in other years simply groan from fox invasions. Patrikeevna accurately determines the places where the seeds are sown, as if she planted them herself. The birds also immediately appreciated the peach. Academician P. Zhukovsky more than once saw how jays dragged rosy-cheeked fruits from gardens. And now, having praised the peach, let's talk about its weaknesses. No matter how tasty the divine fruit is, no matter how it melts in your mouth, biochemists are not at all satisfied with it. Sugar not those! Whether it's grapes - there is almost pure glucose. A peach is like a beetroot. It contains only sucrose. Almost no glucose and fructose. The second flaw is related to the bone. That she lags behind the pulp, then no. How to determine? They say that you need to know the variety. Therefore, going on vacation to Feodosia, to the Black Sea, my wife and I stocked up with a reference book. They found a very good variety Alexander in it and went to the market. Of course, we immediately recognized Alexander by the noble matte radiance. For insurance, they specified: Alexander? - Quite right, - nodded the seller. Bought a whole bag. Brought home. They cut one. The bone does not separate. She definitely soldered to the pulp. We thought that one piece of a different variety had hit. They cut the second, third, tenth ... Alas, everyone turned out to be the same way. I collected the scraps and returned to the market. - And I did not promise that the stone is lagging behind, - the owner of the peaches answered without blinking. - My fruits have such a property. "So it's a different sort," I said, opening the guide again. - Look, it says here that it is lagging behind! He took the book, but immediately returned it back. - That's right. But you see, my soil is not quite suitable. Alexander loves lime, then the stone is separated. I don't have it in my soil. In fairness, we must admit that we treat peach pits very lightly and carelessly spit them out and throw them away. No one will bother to break and use the nucleoli enclosed in them. Or squeeze oil out of them. We are afraid of the already familiar amygdalin. And he's definitely there. If you take the risk of eating - and suddenly you inadvertently get your share of hydrocyanic acid. And who knows how this whole thing will end? But they used to eat, and in some countries even culinary recipes have been preserved on how to add flavor to the desired dish with peach pits. Fear appeared at the very beginning of our century, when traces of amygdalin were found in the nucleolus and even in the pulp. True, later checks, very thorough, did not confirm the results regarding the pulp, but they continue to check, which means there is no complete certainty. As for the bone, amygdalin is installed in it by everyone. It can also be smelled. However, before the nucleoli were eaten! And no one got sick. How much can you eat without harm? There are exact numbers. One kilogram of nucleoli contains 450 milligrams of amygdalin. The minimum dose for a fatal outcome was 10 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. Someone who weighs 50 kilograms must swallow about half a kilo of nucleoli to feel unwell. In reality, no one, of course, eats such a lot. For comparison, we can recall the famous Siberian pies with bird cherry. Tastier is hard to find. But flour for the filling is ground from dried bird cherry, along with seeds and nucleoli. And the almond smell from pies is several times stronger than from peach pits. Ninety-year-olds are not afraid to eat pies. And not just one piece! Each piece has a finger-thick filling. And there is no trouble. Observing the truth, we note that the poisonous properties of amygdalin when baking pies are reduced.
But back to the disadvantages of peach. The third in a row is chilliness. Even in warm regions, in Armenia, frosts occur - and the trunk cracks. The short life of a peach is reduced even further. Armenian gardeners have come up with an original way of protection. They spray the trunks with a polymeric material - perlite. After a day, perlite hardens into a porous crust. It turns out like a second layer of bark. It allows air to pass through and reflects excess sunlight. Keeps from frost. The fourth shortcoming of our client concerns fruits. Outside, the rosy-cheeked fruit is covered with fluffy felt. Like a tennis ball. Finely lined with soft flannel. Not everyone likes pubescence. There are people with perfectly strong nerves who shudder at the mere sight of a peach. They never dare to bite through the fluffy peel, they are even afraid to touch it. One of these timid ones quite seriously suggested that horticultural scientists eliminate the hairy cover on peaches. But not a single gardener dared to take such a steep measure. "Since nature has created pubescence, it means that it is needed for something? - they thought. - Most likely, for protection from enemies." In fact, there is a naked, not fluffy peach. This is a nectarine. Nature created it thousands of years ago. However, with the usual, fluffy, it can not be compared. Gardeners jokingly call it a peach that has lost its taste. There are, however, nectarines of a good taste, but they are so sour that you cannot eat them raw. Nature calculated correctly. Since there is no pubescence, it is necessary to defend yourself with something else. At least acid. The fifth drawback of the fluffy fruit is the problem of return. Its essence is this. When the peach orchard gets old, the trees are replaced with young ones. But the second generation is growing slowly. The trees are dying fast. Short as a moment, life is shortened even more. There is no need to talk about the third generation. And what is most surprising is that this breed behaves in the same way in various parts of the globe, however, in some gardens, both the second and third generation succeed without hassle. What's the matter? It is suspected that amygdalin plays some role here, but what? The question is still open. Despite all the shortcomings, the peach is the most revered stone fruit in the world. In terms of yields, he firmly holds the first place. And not by chance. Nutritionally, doctors consider it equivalent to the liver. Not enough of this. Fruits contain up to one and a half percent pectin and remove radioactive substances from the body. Peaches maintain the balance of acids and alkalis in the body. Restore blood hemoglobin. No wonder the peach connoisseur Professor I. Ryabov from Yalta said: "Whoever consumes at least one peach and apricot fruit a day lengthens his life!" But, even knowing all the benefits of a glorious tree, you need to remember one more property that distinguishes a peach from all fruit brethren. The larger, the tastier. You can not even try, but only measure the diameter with a ruler. If the peach has reached seventy millimeters, it's already good. 80 is even tastier. And 90 is already a full guarantee of incomparable taste. The French even developed a special scale. They do not have three varieties, as usual, but ten. And all in size. True, experts warn that something also depends on ... dew. The big difference is whether the fluffy fruits are picked in the morning, with dew, or in the midday heat, or in the evening, before the dew begins to fall. These last ones are especially good!

Peach. Interesting plant facts
Peach loves heat very much. It is bred in Central Asia, in the Caucasus, in the Crimea. But even in the Crimea, it does not grow well everywhere, but only near the Black Sea itself. Peach does not live long. Two years after planting, it already begins to bear fruit, and by the age of ten it is getting old, giving less and less fruit. And the gardener cuts it down, replaces it with a young one. Peach leaves are large. The fruits are bright, red, with a burgundy side (there are also green ones!). They are sweet, juicy and fragrant. Inside is a bone rich in oil. In Japan, gardeners have never been able to get bright red peach fruits. And then they realized that they did not have enough sun. Then the gardeners brought huge aluminum sheets and laid them out under the trees like huge mirrors. Now the sun illuminated the fruits not only from above, but also from below, reflected in the mirrors. The fruits ripened faster, had time to turn red. Author: Smirnov A.
