the texture that turns eating into a workout your jaw never agreed to
means Describing food with a dense, elastic texture that requires sustained chewing before you can swallow it.
from From 'chew,' which traces back to Old English 'cēowan,' to grind with the teeth — a word with Germanic cousins like Dutch 'kauwen' and German 'kauen.' The '-y' suffix, English's all-purpose 'full of this quality' ending, turns the action into a description, so 'chewy' literally means 'fit for, or demanding, plenty of chewing.'
