Food texture

Picture
the feel, appearance, or consistency of a food or a drink,  qualities that can be felt with the fingers, tongue, palate, or teeth. Foods have different textures, such as rough, smooth, light, heavy. Crackers or potato chips could be crisp, celery can be crunchy, steaks can be crunchy while candy can be hard, granola bars can be both chewy and crispy. 
The texture of a food can change as it is stored, lose water, gets cut or deformed. 
The word Mouthfeel is the technical term for Texture. It refers to the texture and physical feeling we get from what we eat. 
In a blind test of puréed foods, most people could only identify 30 to 40 percent of them by taste alone, as texture they are used to is no longer present.
