Peaches have two primary marketing niches—fresh and canned fruit. The breakdown is as follows (% of USA
peach crop):

  • Fresh - 45-50%
  • Frozen - 5-8%
  • Canned - 40-43%
  • Dried - 1-2%
  • Jam, jelly, brandy, juice,
    baby food - 2-3%

When the meat of a peach falls away from the pit, you have what is known as a freestone peach. When the fruit clings to the peach pit, those are considered clingstones.
