The donut peach, also known as the flat peach and Saturn peach, is a variety of peach with a shorter, squatter fruit.
Name origins
The word "peach" is derived from the place name Persia, from an early European belief that peaches were native to Persia (modern Iran). In ancient Rome, peaches were known as mālum Persicum, "Persian apple," translating Greek Persikon malon. This became Old French pesche ("peach", "peach tree") and entered English as peche or peoche by c. 1400.
