Costco Yellow Nectarines come in a convenient 4-pound bag of fresh, smooth-skinned stone fruit. Nectarines are a close relative of the peach, differing only in their sleek, fuzz-free skin. Yellow nectarines feature golden yellow flesh with a characteristically tangy-sweet flavor and intensely fragrant aroma when fully ripe — distinct from white nectarines, which tend to be milder and sweeter.

These are a naturally nutritious snack, providing a good source of potassium and beta-carotene. They are low in fat and contain dietary fiber, natural sugars, and antioxidants that support overall health. A medium nectarine delivers approximately 62 calories along with vitamins A and C.

When selecting nectarines, look for glossy, deeply colored skin free of bruises or soft spots. A ripe nectarine will yield slightly to gentle pressure and smell sweet and aromatic. Under-ripe nectarines can be left at room temperature for a few days to ripen, then transferred to the refrigerator for up to five days. They can also be sliced and frozen for up to six months.

Enjoy them fresh out of hand, sliced over yogurt or oatmeal, blended into smoothies, tossed into summer salads, or baked into crumbles, pies, and muffins. They also pair beautifully with balsamic glaze when grilled.
