How to choose Ontario peaches According to the Ontario Food Council, judge the ripeness of an Ontario peach by the background color. Look for a creamy yellow tinge behind the blush and at the stem end. Choose peaches that are well-rounded and show no signs of bruising or splitting. Avoid peaches that have a green coloring in the background background - this usually indicates that the. peaches were immature immature when harvested and will probably never mature. Instead, Instead, choose those which are firm-ripe but not hard. Once you get the peaches home, sort them carefully. Keep underripe peaches uncovered uncovered at room temperature, but not in direct sunlight. Refrigerate fully ripe peaches peaches uncovered. Use within three to five days.
