Noticing white stuff on the pit inside your peach might seem strange, but it’s actually a normal part of the fruit’s growth. This white material is called peach callus tissue.
Callus tissue consists of cells that are still deciding what they will become. In scientific terms, these are undifferentiated cells that haven’t fully developed yet. This is a healthy phase in the peach pit’s formation.
The white tissue acts as a protective layer over the pit, helping it stay safe while it grows inside the peach. Think of it as a natural shield that keeps the pit strong.
This is a common and harmless sign that your peach is healthy and maturing properly. The callus tissue shows that the pit is functioning well, whether it will eventually sprout into a tree or simply remain inside the fruit.
Enjoy your peach knowing that this white stuff is just nature’s way of taking care of its work.
