What does DESEED mean in Scrabble?
verb
To remove the seeds from a fruit or vegetable.
Recipes often instruct a cook to deseed a chilli, tomato, or cucumber before using it, either to reduce heat, bitterness, or excess moisture in the finished dish. The word deseed simply combines the prefix de-, meaning removal, with seed, and it behaves exactly like its near relatives delead and desand. Deseeding by hand with a spoon or knife is common for small quantities, while commercial kitchens may use a machine for larger batches.
