What does PUNNET mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
A small, shallow basket or plastic container used to hold and sell soft fruit or vegetables, especially berries.
A punnet is the small basket, originally woven from thin wood shavings and now often moulded plastic, that greengrocers and supermarkets use to hold soft fruit like strawberries or raspberries without crushing it. Its shallow, vented shape lets air circulate around the fruit and lets shoppers see the produce before buying. The term is common in British and Commonwealth English, where shops habitually sell berries by the punnet rather than by weight alone.
How PUNNET is used
Mainly British and Commonwealth English; American English generally says a basket or a box of berries instead of a punnet.
