Bloomier

/ˈbluːmiər/ adjective

Comparative form of 'bloomy'; more covered with bloom (a whitish powdery coating on fruit) or more flowery/healthy-looking.

Etymology

From 'bloom' plus comparative '-ier.' The word reflects the dust coating on grapes and plums that protects them.

Kelly Says

That whitish powder on fresh grapes is bloom—the bloomier the grape, the fresher it is, because that protective coating washes off with handling and time.
