Lanzhou Fragrant Peaches

Lanzhou Fragrant Peaches

　　Lanzhou peaches are mainly grown in Anning District, located in the northwest corner of the city, making it one of China’s renowned peach-producing areas. The peaches are brightly colored, rich in flavor, tender in texture, and juicily abundant. Apart from being eaten fresh, the peach pits can be used in medicine, while peach branches and leaves can help eliminate lice. Peach blossoms aid in intestinal lubrication and bowel movement, and the shells of peach stones can be made into activated carbon. The peaches can also be processed into peach preserves, dried peaches, peach jam, and canned peaches.
