""Frozen berries are always in season and already prepped.""
""Frozen berries are budget-friendly and break down just enough during baking to create that extra juicy, jammy base you want in a crumble.""
""fresh berries = firmer texture and slightly less liquid. The crumble might be a bit drier or less saucy (especially with raspberries or blackberries). Still delicious, just a different vibe.""
Frozen berries are available year-round, require no rinsing or prep, and are budget-friendly. They break down during baking to form a juicy, jammy base that complements streusel without making it overly soggy. Fresh berries provide a firmer texture and produce less liquid, which can result in a drier or less saucy crumble, especially with raspberries and blackberries. Strawberries typically perform better fresh because they hold their shape. Fruit density and moisture release affect how well streusel stays crisp, so choose frozen or fresh based on the desired texture and sauciness.
