“it’s usually wanting something in fruit and probably NOT the sugar part of fruit.”

I pick up a package of peaches often in summer. If it smells peachy, in the cart it goes. If it doesn’t smell peachy, back in the bin it goes.

British sailors were clueless about scurvy for centuries until they were made into ‘Limeys’.

“”If it doesn’t smell peachy, back in the bin it goes””

I didn’t know anyone else smelled produce before buying like I do. Pears, apples, peaches, nectarines, plums, you name it - not a ripe item there except maybe grapes...

Rarely does anything in the produce aisles smell like the real thing. I’ve lived in GA for 20 years and have yet to have a GA peach..Tomatoes this year are horrible - have to cut the center out before you can cut one up for salads or a good tomato sandwich.

There's a good chance there's something in 'that peachy smell' your brain is going 'want it want it want it' over... and it's not in the ones without that peachy smell. (I have that one about peaches too) Enjoy the nectarine and trusting your body's instincts. :)
