It’s an inescapable fact that peaches look like butts. To help perpetuate this, a certified-awesome fruit vendor in China slipped some sexy undies on the fuzzy fruits.
The pantie-clad peaches are being sold to help celebrate Qixi Festival — China’s version of Valentine’s Day. How romantic.

Someone has finally found a practical use for those little fruit labels on our produce — besides to peel off and stick on the refrigerator. Vanishing Fruitwash Labels, by Amron Experimental, turn into a produce-cleaning soap when rubbed with water — helping to remove wax, pesticides, dirt and bacteria found on our apples and pears.
For our premiere issue of Salt of the Earth, I sat down with Gary and Katy Rupert of Three Meadows Farm in Somerset County, New Jersey. I found out what goes into maintaining their mostly organic and self-sustaining farm.
I also learned why asparagus and walnut trees do not play nice, why Jersey tomatoes rule, and what might have been living in Dr. Seuss’ chicken coop. Enjoy.
