There are lots of crunchy healthy foods. Start with fresh raw vegetables. Carrots, pea pods, jicama, and celery are as crunchy as it gets. Apples, all 720 varieties grown all over the world, and crisp pears are also great for a crunch. Whole grain crackers, pretzels, and crispy whole grain cereals are also nutritious crunch foods. Raw seeds and nuts along with popcorn also fill the crunchy bill.
