What's New in PAIR

Ripeness has been added to more ingredients. • 29 more fruits can now be set from underripe to overripe, including watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry, cherry, grape, pineapple, pomegranate, guava, mangosteen and dragon fruit. • On each of these fruits' pages, drag the picking guide from underripe to overripe and the fruit's picture changes colour. Thirteen guides, including raspberry, grape and pomegranate, were rewritten to run that way. • With PAIR+, a fruit's ripeness now changes your plate's score, in the builder and on your saved recipes, and what the builder suggests. Before, it changed only the nutrition. • With PAIR+, drink pairings follow ripeness too: a green mango leans to crisp whites and teas, a very ripe one to ice wine and apricot brandy. Bug and info fixes • Fixes on a few fruit pages: how durian is harvested and how long it takes to ripen at home, the order a blackberry changes colour, and that a nectarine softens on the counter but gets no sweeter. Also corrected: the sugar breakdown for guava, raspberry, cherry and blueberry.
