The nectarine is a rounded fruit, with juicy meat and stone, similar to the peach. The skin is not hairy but smooth, as the plum’s skin, and it can be consumed peeled or unpeeled. The nectarine is one of the fleshy fruits with greater vitamin B3 content. This vitamin takes part in the metabolism of the nutrients, promoting the degradation of the cholesterol and therefore, helping to reduce its level in the blood.
