bletting [blet-ing] noun
1. the ripening of fruit, especially of fruit stored until the desired degree of softness is attained.
Banana bletting is bad, unless you're letting them get brown for banana bread.
(That was nearly an alliteration, huh?)
I never have any luck trying to get fruit to soften; by the time something like an unripe peach gets soft enough to eat, it's grown gray fuzz.
I always buy bananas as green as I can find because I dislike them soft and mushy and they're too sweet when they're ripe. I was sorting through bananas a while back and an older woman was on the other side of the display, sorting through bananas too. "Hard to find green ones." I said to her.
"I suppose so," she replied, "But at my age I don't buy them TOO green."
