mango pit

Tropical seed core

The mango pit is the large, flat seed at the center of a mango, surrounded by fibrous flesh that clings stubbornly to it.

Removing the pit cleanly requires cutting along its sides: She sliced around the mango pit and scooped out the flesh.

The pit is sometimes called a stone or seed.
