What is stone fruit?
mangoes, nectarines, peaches, plums, and pitted cherries.
A stone fruit, also called a drupe, is a fruit with a large “stone” inside. The stone is sometimes called the seed, but that is a mistake, as the seed is inside the stone. The stones can also be called pits.
Examples of stone fruits are peaches, nectarines, plums, lychees, mangoes, and cherries. These fruits are edible and used frequently in cooking.
