1 piece (medium) of Green nectarine (140 g) has 62 calories. That works out to 44 calories per 100 g. It contains 14.8 g of carbs, 1.5 g of protein, 0.4 g of fat and 2.4 g of fiber. Its 0.1 mg of Copper covers 14% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 43 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Green nectarine is a smooth-skinned stone fruit closely related to the peach, with a single hard pit at its centre. Its skin can range from green to yellowish, and the fruit is usually eaten fresh; wash it and bite in, or slice it away from the pit. Ripe flesh is juicy and tender, with a sweet flavour and a gentle tang.
It makes an easy summer snack, and can be served sliced with breakfast, stirred into yoghurt or added to a fruit salad. Green nectarine offers fibre and vitamin C, while remaining low in fat. Pair it with plain yoghurt or a handful of nuts for a more filling snack.

High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Not always: green skin alone cannot tell you whether a green nectarine is ripe. Some fruit stays green when ready to eat. Look for a noticeable sweet fragrance and slight give when you press it gently near the stem.
Leave a green nectarine at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. To speed ripening, place it in a paper bag with a banana. Once it feels slightly soft and smells fragrant, refrigerate it to slow further ripening.
A green nectarine can taste crisp and tart when firm, becoming juicier and sweeter as it ripens. Green skin does not guarantee sourness, though: the flavor also varies with the fruit’s variety and maturity.
A green nectarine is closely related to a peach, but its skin is smooth rather than fuzzy. Nectarine flesh can be firm and tangy or soft and sweet, depending on the variety and how ripe it is.
Yes, green nectarine skin is edible and does not need to be peeled. Rinse the fruit under running water and rub the surface gently before eating. Its smooth skin also makes it easy to slice and serve as is.
Refrigerate a green nectarine once it is ripe to help it stay fresh longer. Keep firm fruit at room temperature first, since chilling slows ripening. Store ripe fruit gently in the crisper drawer so it does not get bruised.
Yes, you can freeze green nectarines. Wash and dry them, remove the pits, and slice the fruit; freeze the slices on a tray before transferring them to a sealed freezer bag. Thawed pieces soften, so they work best in smoothies or cooked dishes.
Yes, green nectarines can be baked or grilled, and heat softens their firm flesh. Halve and pit the fruit, then cook until tender; the result works well in desserts, salads, or alongside savory dishes.
Dogs can have a small piece of green nectarine flesh, but remove the pit and stem first. The pit can cause choking or an intestinal blockage and contains compounds that are harmful if chewed. Avoid giving dogs canned fruit with added sugar.
Yes, people with diabetes can include green nectarines, while accounting for the fruit’s carbohydrates in their meal plan. Eating the whole fruit rather than drinking it as juice provides its fiber. For advice tailored to medication and blood-glucose goals, consult a dietitian or doctor.
