crunchier

Having louder bite

Crunchier is the comparative form of crunchy, describing something with more crunch than another thing—a firmer, more satisfying snap when bitten or compressed: These apples are crunchier than those.

In informal use, crunchier can mean more granola-oriented or countercultural: The neighborhood has gotten crunchier since the co-op opened.
