Nectarine varieties and best uses
The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common nectarine varieties compare.
| Variety | Best for |
|---|---|
| Yellow | Baking, grilling, and jam: golden flesh, bright and tangy; the standard nectarine. |
| White | Fresh eating and salads: pale flesh, sweeter and low in acid. |
| Freestone | Slicing and baking: flesh separates cleanly from the stone, quick to prep. |
| Clingstone | Fresh eating early in the season: flesh grips the stone, juicy and firm. |
Which should I pick?
For baking, grilling, and eating fresh, a freestone yellow nectarine is the easiest pick: the flesh pulls cleanly from the stone and the flavour is bright and tangy. No freestone fruit? Clingstone nectarines taste the same but need cutting around the pit. White-flesh nectarines are sweeter and lower in acid, best raw in salads and on fruit platters.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How many cups is one medium nectarine?
- One medium nectarine (about 142 g) gives roughly 0.99 cups of chopped flesh. A small one (around 120 g) yields about 0.84 cups and a large one (around 170 g) about 1.19 cups, so set the size selector to match the nectarines you actually have before you trust the figure. Open nectarine converter
- How much does a medium nectarine weigh?
- A medium nectarine weighs about 142 g, with a small one around 120 g and a large one near 170 g. That range changes the weight of any recipe that counts nectarines by the piece, so set the size selector to match what you actually have before trusting a cup or gram figure.
- How much does an average nectarine weigh?
- An average nectarine is the same as a medium one: about 142 g. A small nectarine is lighter at around 120 g and a large one heavier at about 170 g, so the size you actually have changes the total for any recipe that counts nectarines by the piece rather than by weight.
- Which nectarine variety should I use?
- For baking, grilling, and eating fresh, a freestone yellow nectarine is the easiest pick: the flesh pulls cleanly from the stone and the flavour is bright and tangy. No freestone fruit? Clingstone nectarines taste the same but need cutting around the pit. White-flesh nectarines are sweeter and lower in acid, best raw in salads and on fruit platters.
- How much does a large nectarine weigh?
- A large nectarine weighs about 170 g, noticeably more than a medium, or average, one at 142 g or a small one at 120 g. Set the size selector to large to convert cups, grams and ounces for the bigger nectarines you actually have on the counter.
