Yes, popcorn is generally considered a crunchy snack.
Popcorn's defining characteristic is its airy yet firm texture that provides a satisfying crunch when eaten. This crunchiness comes from the puffed-up kernels bursting and solidifying. The texture can vary slightly based on preparation methods (air-popped vs. oil-popped) and kernel type, but the characteristic crunch remains.
While some might find freshly popped popcorn to be slightly softer immediately after popping, it quickly hardens and provides the expected crunch. Indeed, the satisfying crunch is part of what makes popcorn such a popular snack! Air-popped popcorn is even considered a good low-carb option for those who still want a crunchy snack.
