Nectarines
Prunus persica (nectarine type) · also called Nectarine, smooth-skinned peach, nectarina (Spanish)
The nectarine is a sweet, juicy stone fruit. It is the same species as the peach, with smooth skin instead of fuzz. It is a low-calorie fruit with a little fibre, potassium and vitamin C. No trial has tested nectarines for any health outcome. The main cautions are allergy in people allergic to peach, and washing the fruit well.

About Nectarines
The nectarine is a sweet stone fruit and the smooth-skinned form of the peach. It is a nutritious, low-calorie food, not a proven remedy: nobody has trialled nectarines for health, and most claims come from fruit in general.
What it is
The nectarine is the fruit of Prunus persica, the same species as the peach. It has smooth skin instead of fuzz. People eat the juicy flesh, usually with the thin skin, around one hard pit.
USDA data for raw nectarine: 44 kcal per 100 g. One medium nectarine (142 g) has about 62 kcal, 2.4 g fibre, 11.2 g natural sugar, 7.7 mg vitamin C, 285 mg potassium and 0.12 mg copper. It also has small amounts of vitamin A, vitamin E, niacin and beta-carotene. None is a major source. Amounts vary with variety and ripeness.
What the research shows
The firmest fact is about vitamin C: too little causes scurvy. A nectarine adds only a little.
Large studies link eating more fruit and vegetables overall with lower risk of heart disease and early death. They do not single out nectarines and cannot prove cause. One genetic study found a small link between peach and nectarine intake and lower CRP, a blood marker, but that is weak evidence.
Lab studies show antioxidant plant compounds vary a lot between varieties. We found no human trial of nectarines for bowel regularity, blood pressure, blood sugar or weight.
Whole fruit versus extracts
Everything here is about the fruit as food. No human trial of nectarine extract, powder or pit products was found, so nothing supports those products. The genetic CRP finding combines peach and nectarine.
Amounts
This page gives no amounts to eat. Ask a doctor, dietitian or pharmacist what is right for you, especially if you take medicine, limit sugar or potassium, or have a food allergy.

Nutritional composition
Nutrition from USDA FoodData Central (Nectarines, raw, FDC 169914, SR Legacy, record updated 4/1/2019, read 2026-10-25). Per 100 g: 44 kcal, 87.6 g water, 1.06 g protein, 0.32 g fat, 10.6 g carbohydrate, 1.7 g fibre, 7.89 g total sugars, 5.4 mg vitamin C, 201 mg potassium, 6 mg calcium, 0.28 mg iron, 9 mg magnesium, 0.086 mg copper, 1.12 mg niacin, 5 micrograms folate (DFE), 17 micrograms vitamin A (RAE), 0.77 mg vitamin E, 2.2 micrograms vitamin K. One medium nectarine (142 g, the USDA portion weight): about 62 kcal, 2.4 g fibre, 11.2 g sugars, 7.7 mg vitamin C (NHS gives 40 mg a day for adults), 285 mg potassium, 0.12 mg copper, 1.6 mg niacin and 3 micrograms vitamin K. Per-fruit figures are the per-100-g values multiplied by 1.42 and rounded. Values vary with variety, ripeness and storage. A nectarine is a low-calorie fruit with a little fibre and small amounts of several nutrients; none is a major source.

What is Nectarines good for?
The main studied uses and how strong the human evidence is for each. There are no trials of nectarines, so most results come from fruit and vegetables in general or from lab work.
Benefits, one by one
Each card is a research question, not a promise. Tap a goal to filter. Open a card to see the studies, doses and limits.
Vitamin C and preventing scurvy
High certaintyScurvy comes from too little vitamin C over a long time. A medium nectarine gives about 7.7 mg, a modest share of the 40 mg a day the NHS gives for adults. Nectarine is a small source, not a main one. No trial has tested nectarines for scurvy.
2 studiesRaw fresh nectarine as food.
Studies, doses and limits
What the trials found
The NHS says adults aged 19 to 64 need 40 mg of vitamin C a day, that it cannot be stored in the body, and that lack of vitamin C can lead to scurvy. Its list of good sources names citrus fruit, peppers, strawberries, blackcurrants, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and potatoes, not nectarine. USDA lists 5.4 mg per 100 g of raw nectarine, which is about 7.7 mg in a 142 g fruit.
Results
The link between vitamin C and scurvy is well accepted. Nectarines add only a small amount. No nectarine trial exists.
Effect sizes as reported
USDA: 5.4 mg vitamin C per 100 g raw nectarine (about 7.7 mg per 142 g fruit).
Why this rating
High for the general point that vitamin C prevents scurvy (health-agency statement). Nectarine itself was never tested and is a minor source.
Form and dose studied
Raw fresh nectarine as food.
Who was studied
People with very limited diets: little or no fresh fruit and vegetables.
Limits
Not a trial of nectarine. A normal varied diet already supplies vitamin C. This is not a treatment for anyone with suspected scurvy.
Why researchers looked
Fruit is a main source of vitamin C, so readers ask how much a nectarine adds.
Traditional use
Nectarines are eaten fresh as a sweet fruit. Long use as food is not proof that they treat any condition.
Proposed mechanism Authoritative guidance
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a nutrient the body cannot store, so it has to come from food every day (NHS). Raw nectarine contains 5.4 mg per 100 g (USDA).
A proposed mechanism does not show that the effect happens in people.
Someone with bleeding gums, easy bruising, tiredness and joint pain should see a doctor, not rely on one fruit.
Eating more fruit and vegetables overall: heart disease, cancer and early death
Low certaintyLarge studies that follow people over years link eating more fruit and vegetables with a lower chance of heart disease and early death. These studies lump fruit and vegetables together and cannot show cause. They do not single out nectarines.
1 studiesWhole fruit and vegetables eaten as food.
Studies, doses and limits
What the trials found
A 2017 systematic review and meta-analysis of 95 prospective studies found that for fruit and vegetables combined, each extra 200 g a day went with a relative risk of 0.92 for coronary heart disease, 0.84 for stroke, 0.92 for cardiovascular disease, 0.97 for total cancer and 0.90 for all-cause death. The abstract names apples and pears, citrus fruit, green leafy vegetables, cruciferous vegetables and salads. It does not name nectarines or other stone fruit.
Results
Fruit and vegetable intake went with lower risk in observational studies. Nectarines were not analysed on their own.
Effect sizes as reported
Per 200 g a day: RR 0.92 (CHD), 0.84 (stroke), 0.92 (CVD), 0.97 (cancer), 0.90 (death).
Why this rating
Observational studies cannot show cause, results varied a lot between studies for stroke and death, and nectarines are not singled out.
Form and dose studied
Whole fruit and vegetables eaten as food.
Who was studied
Adults in prospective cohorts.
Limits
Not specific to nectarines. People who eat more fruit often differ in other ways.
Why researchers looked
People ask whether eating fruit such as nectarines protects health in the long run.
Traditional use
Nectarines are eaten fresh as a sweet fruit. Long use as food is not proof that they treat any condition.
Proposed mechanism Preliminary mechanism
Not established. Fruit brings fibre, potassium and plant compounds, but the studies cannot say which part, if any, is responsible.
A proposed mechanism does not show that the effect happens in people.
None specific.
C-reactive protein (an inflammation marker)
Very low certaintyOne genetic study found that people whose genes predict more peach and nectarine eating also tend to have slightly lower CRP, a blood marker of inflammation. This is a weak kind of evidence. It does not show that eating nectarines lowers inflammation or prevents any disease.
1 studiesWhole fruit (self-reported intake category).
Studies, doses and limits
What the trials found
A 2024 two-sample Mendelian randomisation study tested 28 fruits and vegetables against hardening of the arteries and risk markers. It reported that peach/nectarine consumption was significantly associated with lower CRP (odds ratio 0.913, p=0.010). Peach and nectarine were one category. The abstract highlights garlic as the strongest result and gives no atherosclerosis finding for peach/nectarine.
Results
A small association with a lower CRP level in a genetic analysis. No trial of nectarines and CRP was found.
Effect sizes as reported
CRP: OR 0.913 (p=0.010) for peach/nectarine.
Why this rating
A genetic stand-in design with a combined peach and nectarine category, 28 foods tested, and a blood marker rather than a health outcome.
Form and dose studied
Whole fruit (self-reported intake category).
Who was studied
Genetic data on adults; the abstract does not give the study group.
Limits
Peach and nectarine cannot be separated here. Chance findings are possible when many foods are tested.
Why researchers looked
Inflammation markers are linked with heart disease, so researchers screened common foods.
Traditional use
Nectarines are eaten fresh as a sweet fruit. Long use as food is not proof that they treat any condition.
Proposed mechanism Preliminary mechanism
Not established. Genetic studies use gene variants as stand-ins for what people eat, and the stand-ins are imperfect.
A proposed mechanism does not show that the effect happens in people.
None specific.
Antioxidant plant compounds (lab measurements)
Not enough evidenceLab studies measure plant compounds called phenolics in nectarines and find large differences between varieties. No study has shown what these compounds do in the body after someone eats a nectarine.
3 studiesFresh fruit of many cultivars measured in the lab.
Studies, doses and limits
What the trials found
A 2026 study of 100 peach and 32 apricot cultivars found total phenolics varied up to about sevenfold, and ripening date tracked antioxidant content only in nectarine and apricot. A 2019 analysis of five nectarine cultivars from India reported chlorogenic acid between 3.67 and 17.63 micrograms per g fresh weight, with phloridzin dihydrate also present. USDA lists small amounts of beta-carotene (150 micrograms per 100 g) in raw nectarine. No human study was found.
Results
Contents differ between cultivars in the lab. No health effect was tested in people.
Effect sizes as reported
Total phenolics: up to about 7-fold between cultivars. Chlorogenic acid: 3.67 to 17.63 micrograms per g (five Indian cultivars).
Why this rating
Lab measurements only. There is no human trial of nectarine compounds, so no health benefit can be claimed.
Form and dose studied
Fresh fruit of many cultivars measured in the lab.
Limits
Laboratory work, not evidence of benefit.
Why researchers looked
Fruit colour and flavour come from plant compounds, and marketing often calls them antioxidants.
Traditional use
Nectarines are eaten fresh as a sweet fruit. Long use as food is not proof that they treat any condition.
Proposed mechanism Preliminary mechanism
Phenolics and carotenoids can neutralise reactive molecules in a test tube. Whether that happens usefully after eating is not shown here.
A proposed mechanism does not show that the effect happens in people.
None specific.
Bowel regularity, blood pressure, blood sugar and weight
Not enough evidenceWe found no study that tested nectarines for bowel regularity, blood pressure, blood sugar or body weight. A nectarine has a little fibre (about 2.4 g) and about 11 g of natural sugar. Those numbers are nutrition facts, not proof of an effect.
1 studiesFresh fruit.
Studies, doses and limits
What the trials found
No trial or cohort study of nectarines on these outcomes was found in PubMed searches for nectarine with trials, reviews and intake. USDA lists 1.7 g fibre, 7.89 g total sugars and 201 mg potassium per 100 g of raw nectarine.
Results
No evidence either way for nectarines.
Effect sizes as reported
Nutrition per 142 g fruit: about 2.4 g fibre, 11.2 g sugars, 285 mg potassium (USDA values scaled).
Why this rating
No studies found, so the evidence is insufficient to say anything.
Form and dose studied
Fresh fruit.
Limits
No nectarine-specific research exists in the sources searched.
Why researchers looked
These are the most common reasons people eat fruit, so readers ask.
Traditional use
Nectarines are eaten fresh as a sweet fruit. Long use as food is not proof that they treat any condition.
Proposed mechanism Preliminary mechanism
Not established for nectarine. Fibre, potassium and sugar content are nutrient facts only.
A proposed mechanism does not show that the effect happens in people.
People told to limit sugar or potassium should ask their care team how fruit fits their plan.
How a nectarine differs from a peach
Not enough evidenceA nectarine is the smooth-skinned form of the peach, the same species. A plant-science study found chemical differences in very young fruit. No study shows that one is healthier than the other.
2 studiesDeveloping fruit in the lab.
Studies, doses and limits
What the trials found
A 2026 spatial mapping study of early peach and nectarine fruit reported that nectarines showed enhanced alpha-linolenic acid metabolism and altered pyruvate/TCA cycle regulation, and that a trichome (hair) gene cluster was exclusive to peach. GBIF lists the nectarine name as a variety synonym of Prunus persica, the peach species. No human health comparison was found.
Results
Biological differences in young fruit only. No human difference shown.
Why this rating
Plant science only. No health comparison between the two fruits exists in the sources read.
Form and dose studied
Developing fruit in the lab.
Limits
Not a health finding. Allergy and pit cautions are shared with peach (see Safety).
Why researchers looked
Readers often ask whether nectarines are better for you than peaches.
Traditional use
Nectarines are eaten fresh as a sweet fruit. Long use as food is not proof that they treat any condition.
Proposed mechanism Preliminary mechanism
Plant biology: a gene difference gives the hairless skin. Lab mapping reports metabolic differences in early fruit development.
A proposed mechanism does not show that the effect happens in people.
None specific.

The evidence
The research centre for Nectarines. Every record here was checked against PubMed or the publisher's page; we never list a study we have not verified.
Evidence by outcome
Bars show how many studies we found for each outcome, not how well it works. People are added up across trials only (reviews are not added, to avoid double counting).
How we rate evidence
High certainty
Several well-run trials or reviews agree; further research is unlikely to change the picture much.
Moderate certainty
Good trials point the same way, but some doubt remains.
Low certainty
Small, short or inconsistent trials. The finding could change with better research.
Very low certainty
Very little or very weak human data. Treat as a possibility only.
Mixed findings
Trials or reviews disagree with each other.
Not enough evidence
Not enough human research to say either way.
Evidence against
Good research found no benefit, or found harm.
We take the reviewers' own risk-of-bias and GRADE statements where they exist, and otherwise judge from study size, design, consistency, directness and whether a product matches what is sold. Many publications do not make evidence high. Method note: We started from our existing nectarine summary, re-checked nutrition at USDA FoodData Central, and searched PubMed for human trials, reviews, allergy, residue and food-safety evidence.

Genetic data (IEU open GWAS project) for 28 fruits and vegetables | Genetically predicted intake of peach/nectarine (one of 28 foods tested) Whole fruit (self-reported intake category) Lifelong genetic exposure |
Peach/nectarine consumption was significantly associated with lower CRP (odds ratio 0.913, p=0.010). The abstract's main message is about total fruit, garlic, berries and potato. The abstract gives no atherosclerosis result for peach/nectarine. CRP: OR 0.913 for peach/nectarine (p=0.010 (no confidence interval given in the abstract)) Methods, limits and fundingOutcomes: Hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) and risk markers: LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, C-reactive protein (CRP) Limitations: Peach and nectarine are one combined category. Genetic stand-ins for what people say they eat are weak. 28 foods and several outcomes were tested, so a chance finding is possible. CRP is a blood marker, not an illness.

What we do not know yet
- No human trial of nectarines, whole or as juice, was found for any health outcome.
- The large fruit-and-vegetable studies do not report nectarines on their own.
- How often nectarine itself causes allergic reactions was not found; most allergy studies are about peach.
- No source on nectarine kernels, medicine interactions, pregnancy, choking risk or official potassium guidance was read.
- Frozen, canned, dried and juice forms were not researched.
How new research is added
New studies are found by a saved PubMed search and placed in a review queue before the page changes.
Lab markers
What changed in blood or saliva tests during trials. A changed number is not the same as feeling or being healthier, and we give no "normal ranges".
Other 1
C-reactive protein (CRP)
Lowered in trials
A blood protein that rises when the body has inflammation.
Very low certaintyResults and what it means
Why it was measured
Higher CRP is linked with a higher chance of heart disease, so it is used as a stand-in for inflammation.
Statistical vs. clinical meaning
A genetic association for a combined peach and nectarine category. A change in a blood marker is not the same as fewer illnesses, and no trial was found.
Safety implication
None specific.
| Study | Result | People | Product |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | Genetically predicted peach/nectarine intake went with lower CRP (OR 0.913, p=0.010) | Genetic data (IEU open GWAS project); study group not described in the abstract | Peach/nectarine intake, genetic proxy |
Safety
What studies and official sources say about side effects, medicines and who should check first. Each point shows what kind of evidence it comes from.
Main points to know 3
- Allergy: nectarine is the same species as peach. Peach allergy is well described. A lab study names Pru p 1 as a major allergen in both peach and nectarine. A skin test in one patient with peach allergy was also positive for nectarine. How often nectarine itself causes reactions was not found. Reactions can be severe. Call emergency services for trouble breathing or swelling of the face or throat. Case report 7 11 9 2
- Wash the fruit, and keep cut fruit cold. In 2014 a California packer recalled whole peaches, nectarines, plums and pluots over possible Listeria contamination. The report does not show how many people were ill. The FDA says to wash produce under running water even if you will not eat the skin, with no soap or produce wash, and to refrigerate cut produce at 40 F (4 C) or below. Pregnant women, older adults and people with weak immune systems are more vulnerable to foodborne illness (FDA). Authoritative guidance 5 13
- Do not eat the hard pit. We found no source on nectarine kernels, so we cannot say what is in them. The hard stone is not food; do not crack it open to eat the seed. Not researched
Side effects 2
| Effect | How often | Severity and recovery | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Allergic reactions to peach-family fruit, from itchy mouth and hives to anaphylaxis In 49 people referred in Tunisia for suspected peach allergy, 38 were confirmed allergic and 10.5% of those had anaphylaxis. The abstract does not mention nectarine. In one patient a nectarine skin test was positive (4 mm wheal). | Not established | mild to severe Not stated in the abstracts | Case report 11 2 |
| Foodborne illness if fruit is contaminated (for example Listeria) A 2014 recall covered whole nectarines among other stone fruit. No molecular link to illness is given in the abstract. Washing and cold storage are the FDA's general steps. | Not established | can be severe in vulnerable people Not stated | Authoritative guidance 5 13 |
Liver
No liver injury from eating nectarines was found in the sources read. LiverTox was not checked for nectarines.
How often. No frequency was found.
Monitoring. No agency monitoring advice was found.
This is a safety connection. It is not evidence that Nectarines supports liver health.
Medicines and supplements 2
| With | Why it matters | Importance | Evidence | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prescription and over-the-counter medicines prescription | The absence of a report is not proof of safety. The nutrient-graph summary for nectarines also found none. | Not researched Not enough evidence | If you take medicine, ask a pharmacist a specific question about any food you eat in large amounts. | |
| Potassium limits (for example in kidney disease) nutrient | A medium nectarine has about 285 mg of potassium (USDA scaled value). | Potassium advice for kidney disease was not read from an official source for this page. | Food composition database Not enough evidence 19 | People told to limit potassium should ask their care team how fruit fits their plan. |
Who should check first 2
| Situation | Advice | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Known peach or stone-fruit allergy | Do not try nectarine without asking an allergy specialist. Call emergency services for trouble breathing or swelling of the face or throat. | Case report 11 7 |
| Pregnancy, older age or a weakened immune system | Wash fruit, keep cut fruit refrigerated and discard damaged fruit, as the FDA advises. Ask your doctor about any food-safety question. | Authoritative guidance 13 |
Overdose, product quality and regulators
Summary. No toxicity from eating the flesh of nectarines was found in the sources read. The concerns are allergy, food safety and not eating the pit.
Animal. Not reviewed.
Human doses studied. No human trial of nectarines was found, so no studied amounts or safety measures exist.
Overdose response. Not found.
Genotoxicity. Not researched.
Toxic or hazardous parts. Not researched. We found no source on nectarine kernels; do not eat the pit.
A Turkish market study found nectarine residues of three pesticides well under legal limits. Heavy metals and wax coatings were not researched.
Pesticide residues. In Canakkale, Turkey, no peach or nectarine sample reached the maximum residue limit over 12 weeks. The highest boscalid level in nectarine was about 1/15 of the limit and tebuconazole about 1/10. The authors found no risk to health from the three pesticides. 4
Washing and peeling habits. A Croatian questionnaire found over 60% of households did not peel peel-edible fruit such as nectarines, though nearly all washed produce. The authors give general advice to wash and peel to cut pesticide intake. 10
Food safety handling. The FDA says to wash produce under running water even if you will not eat the skin, not to use soap or produce wash, and to refrigerate cut produce at 40 F (4 C) or below. 13
Listeria recall. A 2014 recall covered whole peaches, nectarines, plums and pluots from one California packer over possible Listeria contamination. 5
| Body | Action | Date |
|---|---|---|
| FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) (United States) | Produce safety guidance: wash under running water, no soap, dry, cut away damaged areas, refrigerate cut produce at 40 F (4 C) or below; names pregnant women, older adults, children and people with weakened immune systems as more vulnerable to foodborne illness source | 2024-03-05 |
| CDC and FDA (MMWR report) (United States) | 2014 voluntary recall of whole peaches, nectarines, plums and pluots from one California packer over possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination source | |
| NHS (UK) (United Kingdom) | Vitamin C: adults 19 to 64 need 40 mg a day; more than 1,000 mg a day of supplements can cause stomach pain, diarrhoea and wind source | 2020-08-03 |
When to get medical help
- Trouble breathing, wheeze, swelling of the lips, face or throat, widespread hives, dizziness or fainting after eating a nectarine or other peach-family fruit
- Repeated vomiting, diarrhoea or fever after eating fruit that may have been contaminated, especially in pregnancy, older adults or people with weak immune systems
Stop using the product and contact a clinician or emergency service. In the US, Poison Control is 1-800-222-1222.

Frequently asked questions
What are nectarines good for?
Are nectarines healthier than peaches?
Are nectarines a good source of vitamin C?
Do nectarines prevent heart disease or cancer?
Not shown. A large review linked more fruit and vegetables overall with lower risk, but it cannot prove cause and does not name nectarines.
Do nectarines lower inflammation?
Not shown. One genetic study linked peach and nectarine intake with slightly lower CRP, a blood marker. It is weak evidence and not a trial.
Do nectarines help blood sugar, blood pressure or weight?
We found no study on this. A nectarine has about 11 g of natural sugar. People managing diabetes can ask their care team how fruit fits their plan.
Do nectarines have antioxidants?
If I am allergic to peaches, can I eat nectarines?
Should I wash nectarines even if I don't eat the skin?
Yes. The FDA says to wash produce under running water even if you will not eat the skin, with no soap or produce wash, then dry it.
Have nectarines been linked to Listeria?
In 2014 a California packer recalled whole peaches, nectarines, plums and pluots over possible contamination. The report did not establish how many people were ill.
Are nectarines safe in pregnancy?
We found no source that restricts them. The FDA says pregnant women are more vulnerable to foodborne illness, so wash fruit and keep cut fruit refrigerated. Ask your doctor.
Can I eat the pit?
No. We found no source on nectarine kernels, so we cannot say they are safe. The hard pit is not food.
