So, what exactly are terpenes? Essentially, a terpene is an aromatic plant compound. These compounds can be found in various plant life, including fruits, vegetables, trees, and cannabis.
In our Northern Lights products, the most dominant terpenes are:
- Terpinolene - "citrus"
- Myrcene - "herbal"
- Caryophyllene - "peppery"
Generally, people say Northern Lights' flavor profile is a bit sweet and spicy. When it comes to cannabis, terpenes are pretty significant because
