If you’ve ever found white material on a peach pit, you might have wondered what it is. Rest assured, it’s a normal part of the peach’s development called callus tissue.
This tissue is made up of cells that haven’t yet specialized. Scientists call them undifferentiated cells because they are still in the process of becoming their final form. This stage is a natural part of how the peach pit grows.
The white callus tissue forms as a protective shield on the pit’s surface during its development. It’s like a cozy cover that keeps the pit safe as it matures inside the fruit.
Seeing this white tissue means the peach is healthy and growing as it should. It helps the pit maintain its strength against natural growth pressures.
So, instead of worrying, you can enjoy your peach knowing that the white stuff is a sign of a thriving fruit and a pit preparing for its future.
