upper sides
Elevated facing portions
Upper sides refers to the top surfaces of something, particularly in contexts where distinguishing between surfaces matters.
In biology, it describes the dorsal or top-facing parts of leaves, wings, or other structures: The upper sides of the leaves are darker green than the undersides.
In cooking or crafts, it indicates which surface faces upward: Brown the upper sides before flipping.
