gummy texture
Tacky, yielding consistency
A gummy texture is sticky, chewy, and slightly elastic—like gum or gummy candy.
The term often describes food that hasn't cooked properly: The rice came out with a gummy texture.
Bread dough, pasta, or baked goods that are underdone or overworked develop this unpleasantly dense, clingy quality.
