Nectarines are accidentally hairless, but they continue to grow because the super smooth skin protects them from rot and damage.

If you pick up a batch of peaches that are little fuzz buckets, you can tame the tresses on those fruits a bit before you sink your teeth in. Gently scrubbing the fruit with a brush can remove the hairs. No harm in cutting away the fuzz entirely.
