Flavedo: an artificial flavour assigned to an object.
eg, That watermelon has a strawberry flavedo. That OMG corn has a plastic flavedo.
Ooh, great answer. But really scary example for the OMG corn. OMG
Not the same flavedo that I’m talking about though. Got this definition out of a medical dictionary.

But it was a good guess! Now I want to listen to some.
Flavedo is a new medicine, available only by prescription, that you take once a week that makes everything you eat taste good, no matter how horrible it actually tastes.

I’m going to ask my doctor for Flavedo next visit for sure! Ha ha if there really was something like that. Oh wait isn’t that what MSG is?
I just found this online too!
“Exocarp (Gr. “outside” + “fruit”), is a botanical term for the outermost layer of the pericarp (or fruit). The exocarp is sometimes called the epicarp, or, especially in citruses, the flavedo.”
Who knew flavedo could mean so many things!
