pulpiness
Fibrous, mashed texture
Pulpiness is the quality of being pulpy—soft, wet, and lacking firm structure.
Fruit has pulpiness when overripe; paper has pulpiness when soaked.
The term extends to writing or entertainment that resembles pulp fiction: sensational, lurid, and not meant to be taken seriously.
The movie's pulpiness was part of its charm.
