Yaozhuang Yellow Peaches

Yaozhuang Yellow Peaches

　　Yaozhuang yellow peaches are a specialty of Yaozhuang Town, Jiashan County, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province. Yaozhuang is located in the northeastern part of Jiashan County, and is well-known for its yellow peaches, which are praised for their crisp texture and sweet taste.

　　The “green food” Jinxiu yellow peaches from Yaozhuang have both peel and flesh in a brilliant golden-yellow color, are predominantly sweet with little sourness, and offer a unique flavor. Eating two per day can aid digestion, lower blood sugar and lipid levels, combat free radicals, remove dark spots, delay aging, enhance immune function, and also stimulate appetite—making them truly a health-promoting fruit and a peach of wellness.

　　In 2005, Yaozhuang’s “Jinxue” yellow peaches were served at a banquet in Beijing’s Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, becoming the second Zhejiang agricultural product after West Lake Longjing tea to be featured there. In 2006, the “Jinxue” brand Jinxiu yellow peaches made their first entry into the Hong Kong market and quickly won the hearts of local residents. Every year, Yaozhuang yellow peaches are “air-freighted to Hong Kong,” with sales increasing steadily. Statistics show that the area of yellow peach orchards in Yaozhuang Town, Jiashan County, has reached 10,000 mu, making it one of the largest fresh yellow peach production bases in China.
