mehevään

Mehevään is a Finnish word that translates to "succulent" or "juicy" in English. It is commonly used to describe the texture and moisture content of food, particularly fruits, vegetables, and meats. The term conveys a sense of richness and desirable dampness.

When describing food, "mehevään" implies that the item is not dry or tough but rather full of moisture, making it pleasant to eat. For example, a ripe berry might be described as "mehevään," indicating its sweet, juicy interior. Similarly, a well-cooked piece of meat that has retained its natural juices would also be called "mehevään."

Beyond food, "mehevään" can occasionally be used metaphorically to describe something that is rich, abundant, or deeply satisfying, though this usage is less common. The primary association of the word remains with the enjoyable succulence of edible items. Its usage is prevalent in everyday Finnish conversation and culinary descriptions.
