chunky

Full of pieces

Chunky describes something thick and substantial, often with visible pieces or lumps: chunky peanut butter, chunky salsa.

Applied to people, chunky is a softer way of saying stocky or slightly overweight: He was a chunky kid.

Chunky knit sweaters have thick, prominent stitches.

The word suggests solid bulk rather than smooth uniformity.
