succulency
Ripe, dripping quality
Succulency is the quality of being succulent—juicy, moist, and flavorful.
The word applies primarily to food: the succulency of a perfectly grilled steak, ripe peaches at peak succulency.
It suggests satisfaction and pleasure in eating, the opposite of dry or tough.
