"Come off" is possibly a fluent English expression here. Taken literally anything that is removed from a plant has come off it. You're using the expression which means something produced by the plant that is edible by function and doesn't harm the plant to remove, usually as part of seed dispersal. E.g. fruits, nuts, berries squash, corn, grains, etc...

Sorry i didn't mean to suggest you did anything wrong, it just looked like there was some confusion. Say what you want and how you want to say it.
