Sweet easily chewed? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tender

I believe this is a double definition.

'sweet' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'easily chewed?' is the second definition.
(tender can mean soft)

(Other definitions for tender that I've seen before include "Make offer in gentle way" , "Not tough - make a bid" , "Youthful" , "Hurting" , "Gentle and sore" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
