Textura harinosa

[Bemaru]

¡Hola a todos! ¿Cómo traducirías al inglés "textura harinosa"? Muchas veces, cuando una fruta no es del todo fresca, tienen este tipo de textura, sobretodo manzanas, peras, o incluso sandías. Es para una traducción de especificaciones de calidad en frutas y verduras.
¡Gracias por vuestra ayuda por adelantado!

Could it be "grainy"?

 

[Yerok]

The definitions I found for harinosa were: farinose, mealy, or floury. None of those are particularly common words, but I've also never seen a mealy or floury fruit (Other than maybe a peach)

Grainy sounds right though.

I guess it's starchy.

 

[sumacero]

Gritty or starchy

 

[Yerok]

Oh, that makes sense too. The word farinose comes from the word farina, which is potato starch.

¡Gracias a todos! Explico un poco más cómo es la textura... cuando una fruta no está "crunchy", en el caso de las manzanas y peras especialmente, y tampoco blanda, sino que al morderla se deshace de forma "rara", como a trocitos pequeños, eso es harinosa, no es una sensación agradable. Creo que, por ahora, lo que más se acerca es "grainy", porque "flourly" no sé si se entendería, aunque se ponga como traducción en algunos sitios.

This probably won't help, but in my family, when a fruit or a tomato has gone past its best, we say it's 'woolly', because the texture in your mouth feels so unpleasant.

Thanks for all the answers, In agricultural sense I have forgotten the word, but looking at your answers it reminds me the words. When the apple (or pear or tomato flesh) it seems unpleasant in your mouth, because of "floury" sensation, the right way to say is mealy or woolly. In Apple breeding is commonly used this term to clasiffy the fruit that genetically is like that, no matter the harvest time.

Many thanks and ready for help you anything you want.

Cierto! UK English: woolly. Supongo que mealy es US English. Gracias porque llevo mucho tiempo buscando el equivalente en español!
