I had ruled that out because I thought that started on the very bottom of the fruit. – nuggethead Jul 18 '22 at 13:14

Make a vertical cut in the bottom: It most likely starts on the very bottom **inside** the fruit. – Gyrfalcon Jul 18 '22 at 14:24
Interesting! I already trashed them but I will investigate if any others pop up – nuggethead Jul 18 '22 at 15:01
