Do you choose food only for its taste? Many people also care about texture. Texture means how food feels in your mouth.
A recent survey in Japan showed this clearly. More than half of the people cared about texture. Crispy food was the favorite. Chewy food came next. Favorite textures also made people feel happier and more satisfied. (myvoice.co.jp)
Crispy food breaks easily with a light sound. Chips and fried chicken are good examples. This sound can make each bite feel fresh and fun. Chewy food is soft, but needs more bites. Mochi and some noodles have this feeling.
One clear example is the chewy doughnut. This sweet became a popular food trend. Some shops sold doughnuts with a soft, special bite. They were between fluffy and chewy. Many stores quickly sold out. (static.cookpad.com)
People enjoyed the sweetness, but texture was also important. So, your mouth enjoys more than taste. Next time you eat, notice the sound and feeling too.
