To answer How many peaches in a cup we went to the grocery store to check out the produce section. After surveying the fruit selection we decided to use a medium peach for our calculations and discovered that 1 pound of peaches is equal to 3 to 4 medium whole peaches. We bought a couple pounds of medium peaches and headed home to start removing peach pits.
We then started chopping and found it took 1 1/2 pitted peaches to reach the 1 cup mark. Next we sliced the peaches to determine how many peaches were needed to measure a cup. We found when sliced we got generous 1 cup from 2 peaches. However, when measuring for 1 cup of pureed peaches, 3 peaches did the trick.

How to Store Peach in the Refrigerator
The ripening process will significantly slow down once the whole peaches are put into the refrigerator. Loosely wrap the ripe peach in a grocery vegetable or fruit bag with holes in it. To limit mold growth, donât store peaches in a regular plastic bag that doesnât allow for air circulation.
Whole peaches properly stored normally stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If left longer, they will get wrinkly skin that doesnât look particularly appetizing.
If a fresh peach is sliced, oxidation starts to work on it right away. This reduces freshness and all of those healthy nutrients associated with peaches. To help limit this deterioration, slice fresh peaches as close to the time you are going to use them as possible.
Once a peach is cut, store it in an airtight container or Ziploc bag until used. The sliced peaches should last for about 3 days.
