What is crunchy?

Crunchy is how something feels when you bite into it and it makes a loud, snappy sound.

Imagine you're eating an apple, not a juicy one, but the kind that's been sitting in the fridge for a while. When you take a bite, it doesn’t squish like a banana; instead, it crunches, like little pieces are breaking apart inside your mouth. That’s crunchy!

Some foods are naturally crunchy, like carrots or pretzels. Others become crunchy when they’re cooked, like fries in the oven or chips in a bag.

Think of it like this: if you take a soft cookie and put it in the toaster, it turns hard and crunchy. It’s like giving the cookie a little snappy, bumpy makeover!

You can even make your own crunchy snacks, just try tearing up some paper and eating it. That’s crunchy too!
