what is a necturine

[paul 30]

my girlfriend and i have been arguing tonight about what fruits make up a necturine, so could someone please confirm the correct answer.

It's a cross between a peach and a plum.

A lot of people think of the nectarine as a fuzz less peach - and it is related to peaches, almonds, and plums - but the nectarine is a different fruit. Like its relatives, it came out of ancient China, but no one knows for sure what its origins are. The flesh is meatier and juicier than that of most peaches; the fruit is also more fragile because it�s not protected by a fuzzy skin. The word �nectarine� means sweet, as nectar, and this is likely the origin of the word.  (Source: AgMrc)
