What is a "pit"?
The pit, also known as a stone or seed, is the hard, often large, and typically oval-shaped structure found within certain fruits. It is located at the center of the fruit and is surrounded by the edible flesh. The pit contains the seed or seeds of the fruit and serves as a protective covering to safeguard the seed during development. Pits vary in size, shape, and hardness depending on the fruit species. Some common fruits with pits include cherries, peaches, plums, and olives. While the flesh of these fruits is consumed, the pit is typically discarded due to its tough and inedible nature.
