Jaaaja peaches may be ok if you get them tree ripened at the orchard, but west of the Mississippi, they are garbage. Very few stores even bother to stock them. The problem with everything in the grocery store is that it is picked too green, unless it is a fruit or vegetable that keeps well,

I'd guess they have different varieties for export/travel to other locations, and these are most certainly worse than others. I refuse to purchase peaches anywhere other than my local stand in Chester NJ. They're outstanding, currently $25 for a half bushel. I'm on my third box this month.
