Japanese term or phrase: 食感のある
This term appears with an artichoke, so I'm not sure how to translate it. The sentence is:

白く蒸し上げた食感のあるアーティチョークを添えている。

How does one describe the texture of an artichoke?!

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you V N Ganesh and Kathy, I like both meaty and lush, but I went with meaty basically for my sentence structure.

lush texture or just "unique" texture


Explanation:
But the artichoke's appeal is no mystery: Its ***lush texture*** and nutty taste lure us through all impediments. No wonder recipes abound.
From: http://72.14.235.104/search?q=cache:iCQHzZsxq_YJ:www.viamaga...

Many people dip artichoke petals in melted butter, mayonnaise, or salad dressing before consuming them. Others prefer the natural flavour and ***texture of the artichoke, which is quite unique.***
