Chewiness

Chewiness is the mouthfeel sensation of labored chewing due to sustained, elastic resistance from the food.

Foods typically considered chewy include caramel, rare steak,[1] and chewing gum.

Other foods where this is an important part of the experience of eating include springy cheeses[2] and apples.

[3] Chewiness is empirically measured by the metrics of chew count[4] and chew rate.
