What does DRIED mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Having had water or other liquid removed, especially as a way of preserving food, plants, or other material.
A jar of dried apricots or a bunch of dried flowers has been deliberately stripped of its natural moisture, either in the sun, in an oven, or in a specialized machine, so that it lasts far longer than the fresh version. Cooks and gardeners treat dried as a distinct category from fresh, since a dried ingredient often needs to be soaked or cooked differently before use. The word comes from the ordinary verb dry, but dried functions on its own as a description of the finished, preserved state of something.
How DRIED is used
Used constantly in cooking, gardening, and shopping to describe food or plants preserved by removing moisture.
- The recipe called for a cup of dried apricots.
- She arranged a bowl of dried flowers on the table.
- Dried herbs keep much longer than fresh ones.
- He packed dried fruit and nuts for the long hike.
- The dried leaves crumbled easily between her fingers.
