1. fresh

   That which is new has lately come into existence, possession, or use; a new house is just built, or in a more general sense is one that has just come into the possession of the present owner or occupant. Modern denotes that which has begun to exist in the present age, and is still existing; recent denotes that which has come into existence within a comparatively brief period, and may or may not be existing still. Modern history pertains to any period since the middle ages; modern literature, modern architecture, etc., are not strikingly remote from the styles and types prevalent to-day. That which is late is somewhat removed from the present, but not far enough to be called old. That which is recent is not quite so sharply distinguished from the past as that which is new; recent publications range over a longer time than new books. That which is novel is either absolutely or relatively unprecedented in kind; a novel contrivance is one that has never before been known; a novel experience is one that has never before occurred to the same person; that which is new may be of a familiar or even of an ancient sort, as a new copy of an old book. Young and youthful are applied to that which has life; that which is young is possessed of a comparatively new existence as a living thing, possessing actual youth; that which is youthful manifests the attributes of youth. (Compare YOUTHFUL.) Fresh applies to that which has the characteristics of newness or youth, while capable of deterioration by lapse of time; that which is unworn, unspoiled, or unfaded; as, a fresh countenance, fresh eggs, fresh flowers. New is opposed to old, modern to ancient, recent to remote, young to old, aged, etc.

How to use fresh in a sentence?

1. Nguyen Thi Huong Anh:

   It's a volcano so the beer has a hot and spicy flavor with a soft and fresh aftertaste.

2. Andie MacDowell:

   I am completely addicted to these peppermint balls, i carry them around with me everywhere and I’m always giving them to people. There’s no sugar in them — they’re pure peppermint and they leave the best taste in your mouth! If you have coffee breath or just don’t feel fresh, you bite into one of these and it releases this very intense peppermint flavor. I like to pop one in before I go on set.

3. Joseph Murray:

   In my clinical experience I see some people go on a gluten-free diet because they genuinely feel better when they're gluten free. Sometimes it may be because they're eating less, they’re eating healthier - more fresh real foods as opposed to fast food.

4. Catherine Donnelly:

   Without knowledge of production practices, it is difficult to offer guidance to processors to effectively manage risks. This is why education is key, as consumers demand more products that are fresh and locally produced, providing more hands-on education to producers to effectively manage risks can help produce safer foods.

5. Josh King Madrid:

   Reframe obstacles into challenges and the stress will dissolve completely. For instance, an embarrassing moment at work can seem funny when put in a long-term frame. When we change the frame we change the meaning. Was it a waste of time or was it a valuable lesson? Did you lose it all or did you get a fresh start? Reframing is one of the most powerful tools you can implement to change your state of mind.”
