Stone fruit
fleshy fruit with hard inner layer (endocarp or stone) surrounding the seed / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 a pit. These fruits are edible and used frequently in cooking.
