A peach grown in the US state of Virginia has broken the world record for weight, according to Guinness World Records.
The fruit was picked earlier this month at Chiles Peach Orchard, located in the Crozet area. Weighing 1.83 pounds (approximately 830 grams), it surpassed the previous record of 1.8 pounds.
The peach belongs to a specific variety known as PF-27A. It was sent to Guinness World Records, which confirmed and certified it as the heaviest peach ever recorded.
Henry Chiles, the owner of the orchard, told a local television channel that there had been no deliberate attempt to grow the world’s largest peach. He said the unusual size was likely the result of favourable weather conditions this year.
