Mitä tarkoittaa

Stale tarkoittaa elintarvikkeiden, kuten leivän tai muiden ruokien, tilaa, jossa ne ovat menettäneet tuoreutensa ja makunsa. Tämä voi johtua pitkästä säilytysajasta tai huonosta säilytyksestä, mikä johtaa kosteuden haihtumiseen ja rakenteen muutokseen. Stale-ruoat voivat olla epämiellyttäviä syödä ja ne saattavat myös menettää ravintoarvoaan. Sanan käyttö voi laajentua myös muihin konteksteihin, joissa jotain on vanhentunut tai menettänyt alkuperäisen viehätysvoimansa.
