Why Are Peaches Fuzzy? Not all experts agree on the reason for "peach fuzz," but here are some of their theories. Experts agree that the fuzz helps the peach defend itself from various threats. Some feel the fuzz was developed to give the fruit more resistance to insects and diseases. Another theory is that the fuzz protects peaches from sunburn and potential water loss.
