I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

pared

'peeled' is the definition.

(Other definitions for pared that I've seen before include "Of a fruit, peeled" , "Cut bit by bit" , "Trimmed - peeled" , "Whittled as with pencil" , "Trimmed like pencil." .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Star Tribune.
