Wednesday Word: Bletting

Bletting - noun

We've all seen bletting in action, whether we realize it or not. Certain fruits are inedible until they ripen--and bletting describes a stage past ripening. You've probably noticed the change in taste as tannins and acids decrease--these make fruit firm--and an increase in sugars.
