A nectarine is a smooth-skinned variety of peach, and nutritionally the two are close. Nectarines are about 88% water and have 44 kcal (184 kJ) per 100 g, almost all from natural sugars, with a little fibre and hardly any fat. They provide modest amounts of potassium, vitamin C and vitamin E rather than a large dose of any single nutrient.

Common portions
| Portion | Grams | kcal | kJ | Protein g | Carbs g | Fat g |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 medium nectarine | 142 | 62 | 261 | 1.5 | 15 | 0.5 |
| 1 large nectarine | 156 | 69 | 287 | 1.7 | 16.5 | 0.5 |

Things worth knowing
- One medium nectarine (142 g) has about 62 kcal (261 kJ), and a large one (156 g) about 69 kcal (287 kJ). A cup of slices is about 63 kcal (263 kJ).
- Compared with peaches, nectarines have slightly more energy per 100 g (44 kcal against 39) and a little more fibre and potassium. The difference is small enough to treat them as interchangeable.
- The smooth skin is the result of a single recessive gene. Nectarines are not a peach-plum cross, despite the common belief.
- A medium nectarine supplies about 285 mg of potassium and 7.7 mg of vitamin C, so it contributes to both without being a standout source of either.
