(Peaches, Donut, Yellow) Donut peaches get their name from their flattened shape
and depressed center, which resembles a donut, and "donut" may also be spelled
"doughnut". Wikipedia refers to them as Saturn peaches. We purchased these sweet
and flavorful yellow donut peaches at a local farm store, where their cost was
less than half that of the supermarket, though we have never seen these yellow
donut peaches in any supermarket. Ripe yellow donut peaches are very juicy, but
contain less juice that regular round peaches, and are one of the best tasting
peaches we have eaten. The flesh of these yellow donut peaches is a bright
yellow. They also have a small free-stone pit, and are the least fuzziest of the
peaches we have tried. Wisegeek says: "The origins of the donut peach can be
found in Asia, where flat peaches have been cultivated for centuries. In the
mid-1800s, several varieties were exported to the United States, and Chinese
flat peaches, as they were called, became popular for a brief period of time.
The fruits fell out of fashion, however, and the flat peach was considered an
essentially lost heirloom variety until the 1990s, when it began to enter
widespread cultivation again." We could not find any information about the
origin or these yellow donut peaches, not could we find any nutritional information
specifically for yellow donut or flat peaches. For general nutritional
information see peaches.

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
