diced
Made into cubes
Diced describes something cut into small cubes, typically food: diced tomatoes, diced onions.
The size varies but suggests uniform pieces smaller than chopped.
As the past tense of dice, it also means gambled with dice or took a risk: They diced with death on that mountain road.
