succulent
Water-storing desert plant
Succulent describes something juicy and richly flavorful: a succulent steak, succulent peaches.
The word suggests moisture and tenderness, often appearing in food writing.
In botany, succulents are plants with thick, fleshy tissues that store water—cacti, aloe, jade plants.
These have become popular as low-maintenance houseplants: She lined her windowsill with succulents.
