What are terpenes?
Terpenes are naturally occurring aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They're responsible for the complex aromas and flavour profiles that make each cannabis cultivar unique.
Aroma and Flavour 👃👅
Terpenes give plants their distinctive smells and tastes. For example, some terpenes create citrusy, piney, fruity, or earthy aromas in cannabis.
Natural Protection
In nature, terpenes play a protective role. They can repel pests that might otherwise eat the plant or attract beneficial predators that prey on those pests.
Commercial Uses
Terpenes are widely used in industries beyond cannabis, including perfumery, food flavoring, cosmetics, and cleaning products, due to their pleasant scents and potential therapeutic properties.
Entourage Effect
The theory that terpenes and cannabinoids work synergistically to contribute to an "entourage effect" when consumed, effects that differ from when cannabinoids and terpenes are consumed in isolation.
