deseeded
Cores taken out
Deseeded describes fruits or vegetables that have had their seeds removed: deseeded tomatoes, deseeded chiles.
The word is more common in British English; Americans typically say seeded, which—confusingly—means the same thing.
To deseed is to remove the seeds: Deseed the peppers before chopping.
