Why do we feel grittiness on eating fruits

Answer 1

Answer:

We get a crunchy and granular feeling when we chew pear fruit because of the presence of sclerenchyma tissue. The sclerenchyma cells are of two types- fibres and sclereids. The sclereids give a crunchy feeling to the pear fruit because it provides support and hardens the tissue.
