Nectarine
Prunus persica var. nucipersica
Nectarine is a variant of the peach with non-fuzzy skin, of uncertain origin. Its large-scale farming in Spain began in the mid-twentieth century, with the introduction of new irrigation techniques and the introduction of varieties developed in the United States.
It is a fruit rich in vitamins A and C and high in fiber, antioxidants and water. It has potassium, magnesium and phosphorus. They are usually consumed fresh, although they are also very popular in preserves, jams and desserts.
The spots on its skin indicate that it is a very sweet piece, they are a display of crystallized sugar.
At Cal Roget we harvest nectarines from June to October.
Paraguayan
Prunus persica var. platycarpa
The Paraguayan originated in China as a natural mutation of the peach. It presents a range of green and reddish tones, although there are also yellow varieties, and they have a whitish and pale pulp.
Its nutritional properties are very similar to those of the peach: it is a fruit rich in fiber, vitamins A and C, water and potassium and low in calories.
At CalRoget we work with flat peaches from June to September.
Peach
Prunus persica
Peaches are the summer fruit par excellence. Large in size, with yellowish or white flesh, sweet, juicy and with a pleasant sweet aroma.
Its origin is in northern China and it was introduced in Europe by the Romans, who believed it originated in Persia.
This fruit can be classified into three families: white pulp, yellow pulp and pavia type. There are more than 2,000 varieties. It is usually consumed as fresh fruit or preserved in syrup, although it is also used for jams and jellies.

Apricot
Prunus armeniaca
This orange fruit belonging to the Rosaceae family is native to the temperate zones of Asia, North Korea and Manchuria and was introduced in Europe through Armenia by the Romans.
It is a seasonal fruit that can only be consumed fresh when harvested, between May and August. It is widely used in derivatives such as jams, juices, compotes and “orejones”.
Among its nutrients are iron, potassium, calcium, magnesium and vitamin B3. They are also rich in tannins, elements with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and promote digestion.
Flat nectarine
Prunus persica var. nucipersica
The flat nectarine or “Platerina” is a variety of peach halfway between the nectarine and the Paraguayan, created at the beginning of the 21st century. It is completely natural and has no genetic modifications.
It is a very sweet fruit with a deep aroma, juicy flesh and pleasant texture. Rich in fiber, vitamins C and A, beta-carotene and pectins, they are ideal for a balanced and low-calorie diet, and to keep cool in summer.

There are more than thirty varieties of pears with different colors, textures and flavors. At Cal Roget we work with Barlet and Ercolini during July and August.
This fruit stands out for its high contribution of potassium, fiber and water and the presence of vitamin B. It is one of the species best tolerated by the human body and one of those that cause the fewest allergies.
