pitless

Without a core

Pitless describes fruit without a stone or seed inside: pitless cherries, pitless olives.

These varieties are prized for convenience—no need to work around or remove the hard center.

The word also applies to anything lacking a pit in the sense of a hole or cavity, though this use is rare.
