How it's used
Focuses specifically on the texture and tenderness of meat rather than its nutritional value or safety. It is commonly used in culinary contexts, such as when describing the difference between fresh and frozen cuts or evaluating the preparation of a dish. While it sounds slightly formal, it is perfectly natural in restaurant reviews or when discussing grocery shopping.
Examples
The beef here has a very smooth texture.
How do you find the quality of this steak?

Common phrases
meat is fresh and tender
meat is soft and fluffy
Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe the taste or flavor of the meat, as it strictly refers to the physical texture and quality. Use 味或者味道 when you want to talk about how the meat tastes.
