Luding Fragrant Peaches

Luding Fragrant Peaches

　　Luding Fragrant Peaches boast vibrant colors, crisp and sweet flesh, and a rich aroma — excelling in color, fragrance, taste, and appearance.

　　Luding Fragrant Peaches are an outstanding local variety unique to Luding, originally from Ganlu Temple in Lengqi Town. Today, they are cultivated along the Dadu River basin, with the largest planting area in Pēnbà Township. During the Qing Dynasty, they were offered as tribute fruit. The fruit ripens between July and September, making it a late-maturing variety. With vibrant colors, crisp and sweet flesh, and a rich aroma, these peaches excel in color, fragrance, taste, and appearance. They are highly nutritious, with a high content of soluble solids and sugar levels exceeding 12%. They are also rich in vitamin C, inorganic salts, protein, and crude fiber. Eating them helps promote saliva production, relieve summer heat, stimulate appetite, and strengthen the spleen — making them an ideal fruit during the summer and autumn off-season.
