stone fruits
Fruits with pits
Stone fruits are fruits with fleshy outer parts surrounding a hard pit or "stone" that contains the seed.
Peaches, plums, cherries, apricots, and nectarines are the common examples.
The category matters in cooking and nutrition, where stone fruits are often grouped for their similar textures and seasonal availability: Stone fruits are at their peak in midsummer.
