What does BLET mean in Scrabble?
verb
botany
To soften and ripen further after picking, as certain fruits do through a process of internal decay.
Some fruits, notably medlars and persimmons, are too hard and sour to eat straight from the tree and must blet, meaning they sit and slowly break down inside until the flesh turns soft, sweet and brown before they become edible. Growers and food writers use the term to distinguish this controlled overripening from ordinary rot.
