Peaches are the third most popular fruit in the nation, behind apples and oranges.

Peaches spread to Russia and Persia (present-day Iran) probably because Chinese traders dropped peach pits along their trade routes. Alexander the Great and his armies found the peaches in Persia and brought them to Greece.

Today, the peach is grown in at least 64 countries worldwide. The U.S. produces about 20% of the world's peaches.
