Crumble is a type wax that is looser and drier than other extracts. Sometimes it called “honeycomb,” as it breaks apart easily and is usually dark yellow or white in color and handles about 90% of THC. It is made in a similar manner to shatter except it usually stays in a vacuum oven for longer, drying it out more and giving it a low risk for mold contamination. Some extractors slightly whip it before heating to encourage it to become a crumble, rather than a shatter.

What is Crumble ?
It is a dry cannabis concentrate that is powdery and crumbles easily. It is made through a chemical extraction process similar to shatter, using a solvent such as butane, propane or CO2 extraction.

However, it can have a THC potency close to 90%, and can range in color from pale to deep yellow. With age, it tends to harden and turn amber in color. It can be made either from dried buds or fresh frozen cannabis, which would make a live resin crumble.

It is a reasonably priced concentrate which is often cheaper than other consistencies. It’s low price is likely because crumble is harder to handle than some other consistencies, such as taffy. As with all concentrates, proper storage is crucial to maintain the potency and flavor of crumble, and exposure to light, heat, oxygen, and moisture will speed up the degradation process.
