What is crumble?
Crumble, or live resin crumble, is a solvent-based concentrate with a dry consistency and crumbly structure that breaks apart, or “crumbles,” easily when handled. It ranges from yellow to amber in color and closely resembles honeycomb or wax.
Crumble is well-liked for its versatility. Thanks to its extraction process, it's easy to handle and dose.
Live resin crumble is made by using a chemical solvent (usually butane) to extract cannabinoids, like THC and CBD, and terpenes from flower. A low-heat purge follows, and then the concentrate is whipped. The whipping step is what differentiates crumble from glassy concentrates, like shatter, or smooth concentrates, like badder, and gives crumble its unique form.
Crumble's extraction process typically produces higher yields (60% to 90% THC), so be mindful of how much you consume, especially if you're newer to concentrates. A dose about the size of a grain of rice is usually a good starting point.
How to consume crumble
Usually by dabbing or vaping it, but you can easily sprinkle it on top of flower in bowls, bongs, and joints, or mix it into edibles.
If you're making homemade edibles with crumble, you'll need to decarboxylate (or heat) it first to convert the THCA into THC. Simply spread your crumble on a baking sheet and pop it in the oven at 240°F for about 30 minutes.
To dab crumble, you'll need a dab rig and a dab tool.
Pro tip: Dip your crumble in sauce concentrate or heat the tool beforehand to get the crumble to stick to it.
You can also find pre-filled vape pens, liquid crumble vape cartridges, and concentrate vaporizers on Weedmaps.
Frequently asked questions
It depends on what you're looking for in a concentrate. Crumble's powdery, crumbly texture makes sprinkling it on top of bowls, in joints, or on edibles easy. It's also often richer in terpenes than shatter, meaning you'll get more flavor and aroma, enhancing your cannabis experience. On the other hand, shatter is more potent, easier to work with, and has a longer shelf life.
The main difference comes down to the input material used during extraction.
Live resin crumble is made from fresh or flash-frozen cannabis that hasn't been dried and cured. This fresh frozen input material helps preserve the plant's terpenes.
Regular crumble is made from dried and cured cannabis flower (called "nug run" when made from flower buds, or "trim run" when made from trim).
Both types use the same solvent-based extraction process and whipping technique to achieve that signature crumbly texture. The fresh frozen process used for live resin helps retain more terpenes compared to using dried and cured flower.
To preserve its potency and texture, store your crumble in an airtight glass container in a cool, dark place. Refrigeration can help prevent terpene loss and keep your crumble from drying out. You can also vacuum seal and freeze it for long-term storage.
Like most concentrates, crumble wax is highly potent, with THC levels typically ranging between 60% and 90%. While it may not always be the most potent concentrate available, it delivers significantly stronger effects than flower. The exact potency of crumble can vary depending on the strain used, the extraction method, and the specific cannabinoid and terpene profile of the starting material.
Contrary to what some might say, whether a strain is labeled indica or sativa doesn't determine concentrate potency. It's more about the plant's chemical makeup and how it's processed.
Crumble's dry, honeycomb-like texture makes it especially easy to handle without the sticky mess common in other concentrates. Unlike some concentrates, crumble can be used in multiple ways, including dabbed, vaped, or added to flower, making it one of the most versatile forms of cannabis concentrate. The low temperatures during the extraction process help retain more terpenes, resulting in better flavor and aroma. And despite its dry texture, crumble contains a high concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes suspended in oil, which means it melts quickly into a vaporizable form when heated.
