Crumble

Description

Crumble

Crumble, sometimes called crumble wax or honeycomb, is a cannabis concentrate that is both dry and powdery, which makes it fall apart or easily–hence.

There are two smaller divisions of BHO crumble: wax and sugar . The difference lies in the concentration of lipids within this concentrate. In terms of texture, both types of it share many similarities with BHO budder, with the main difference being that can, well, be easily crumbled.

 

Wax

• Easy to break into chunks
• More robust texture than sugar crumble
• Somewhat lipid-rich

Wax has more lipids than sugar , and as such is a little more robust. While it will still break easily into chunks, it won’t turn into a fine dust, whereas sugar crumble will.

 

Sugar Crumble

• Easy to break
• Texture of BHO budder
• Fairly solid

Sugar is much more brittle than wax and will break up into many incredibly small pieces. While the smaller amount of lipids makes it “purer” in a sense, the ratios of cannabinoids to terpenes, etc. are the same in both.

What is crumble?

Crumble 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, though CO2 tends to yield a wetter concentrate, more like a sap.

Crumble 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. can be made either from dried buds or fresh frozen cannabis, which would make a live resin .

Crumble is a reasonably priced concentrate which is often cheaper than other consistencies. It’s low price is likely because 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.

How is crumble made?

Making is similar to making shatter except crumble needs lower heat for a longer period of time in a vacuum oven. The longer cooking time creates one of the driest forms of cannabis concentrate, giving it a low risk for mold contamination. Some extract artists will also whip it up under slight heat before placing it in a vacuum oven to encourage it to become a , rather than a shatter.
