Stone fruits are Fruit Trees that get their name from the pit or "stone" in their center that is encased in a fleshy outer area. Also known as drupes, stone fruits tend to have thin skins that may be fuzzy or smooth. Since most stone fruits won't ripen after being harvested, they're picked at their peak and only good for a small window of time, usually in the summer months. This makes them highly seasonal, with different stone fruits arriving at different seasons.
