FIL: Maraming ganot o himaymay na matigas at hindi kanais-nais kainin, karaniwan sa mga prutas o gulay.
EN: fibrous; full of tough fibers
This is the evil twin of 'maganit', but for fruits and root crops. It's that mango that has so many stringy fibers you spend more time picking them from your teeth than eating. Or the kamote (sweet potato) that's more fiber than flesh. A 'maganot' fruit is a textural nightmare.
From Tagalog 'ma-' (adjective prefix) + 'ganot' (tough fiber in plants).
Used to describe the texture of plants, fruits, and vegetables like old mangoes, sweet potatoes, or ginger.
