Thanks Hugh. I knew it was natural, but couldn't remember exactly what it was.

He had purchased peaches from another orchard and complained the peaches had "mold" next to the pit. What he described was a white substance next to the pit, not unusual in freestone peaches. At one time I read an article which described in specifics what the white substance was, but I can't remember now. I told him it probably wasn't mold, and that it was natural. I'd like to have a more specific response for my own customers. Anyone know what the white spots are next to the pit, sometimes seen when breaking open a freestone peach?
