A mother was left stunned after discovering that her papaya had begun sprouting new growths from within.

Mary Grace Buscato was cutting open the ripe fruit when she noticed the offshoots forming inside in Laguna, the Philippines on August 24.

Experts said that the unusual phenomenon is caused by vivipary, a process in which seeds begin to germinate while still enclosed in the fruit.

Vivipary is most common in overripe produce, where the warm, moist conditions encourage seeds to sprout prematurely.

Food specialists advise that the fruit remains safe to eat only if it shows no signs of spoilage.
