August is National Peach Month. How well do you know your peach facts?

What popular family is the peach a part of? The peach is related to the rose family. However, giving someone a dozen peaches on an anniversary has been met with mixed results.

How many bushels of peaches does Georgia produce annually? Georgia produces slightly less than 3 billion bushels of peaches every year. The United States is the world leader in peach production, supplying over 20 percent of the world's peaches.

How did the cling peach get its name? The cling peach is so named because the flesh of the peach is more attached or "clings" to the pit. Freestone peaches pull away easily from the pit.

What vitamins are peaches particularly high in? Peaches are high in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as dietary fiber. And at 35 to 70 calories a peach, they make sweet and healthy snacks.

Who wrote James and the Giant Peach? Roald Dahl, the British author of another popular "sweet" children's book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Check out the 1996 film version of James and the Giant Peach directed by Henry Selick.
