crisp

"Crisp" refers to a texture that is firm, crunchy, and easily breaks when bitten or touched. It is often used to describe food items that have a fresh, dry, and crunchy feel, such as apples, chips, or lettuce. The term is also used in other contexts, such as describing sounds (a sharp, clear sound) or even weather (cold and clear). In cooking, crispiness is highly sought after, especially in snacks or fried foods, where a crunchy exterior contrasts with a tender interior.
