Botany
English term or phrase: fibrous
Det handlar om en växt (en sort kaveldun) som man kan äta och som beskrivs så här:

You peel it... and then you get to the heart which is very tender. These leaves are fibrous.

Kan man helt enkelt använda "fiberrika" här? Min tillfälliga lösning är "sega och fiberrika".

Tack på förhand!

Explanation:
Nej, "fiberrik" syftar på halten av kostfiber i mat. :)

Kaveldun har väl i o f s säkert mycket kostfiber också, men det de syftar på här är bladnerverna/fiberna som säkert är svårtuggade!
