This word still makes me think of Lent and cellulose acetate. Or lentils.

Could be lenticel breakdown, an emerging disease of apples.

Hmmm. What about the slightly larger marks that look like beauty spots? Are they lenticels or something else? Where's our resident Rosacean when we need him/her?

I think this has to go on reesetee's "It Has a Name?" list.

The little dots on fruits such as apples are lenticels.
