What is Live Resin?
Unlike other cannabis extracts that are made from dried and cured buds, live resin is produced using fresh cannabis flowers that are frozen immediately after harvest. This process helps to preserve the terpenes, which are the aromatic compounds in cannabis that contribute to its scent, flavour, and potentially to its effects as well. The preservation of these terpenes is what makes live resin distinct, as it tends to have a more vibrant and flavourful terpene profile compared to other types of concentrates.
Live resin is highly prized among cannabis enthusiasts for its intense flavours and aromas, as well as its potential to provide a more nuanced and complex experience due to the wide range of terpenes preserved in the concentrate. It is typically more expensive than other forms of cannabis concentrates due to the specialized equipment and process required to produce it, as well as the fresh plant material needed for its production.
Choosing High Quality Live Resin
The consistency of live resin can vary depending on the specific extraction method and the original plant material used, but it generally has a viscous, sticky texture that can be sappy or slightly runny, and in some cases, it may be more solid and crumbly.
A high-quality live resin should look glossy and fresh, with a certain translucency that suggests it has been properly processed and preserved. The presence of a bright, rich color and a glossy sheen often indicates a high terpene content, which contributes to the concentrate's aroma and flavour profiles.
The aroma and flavour of live resin are also indicators of its quality. When observing live resin, a potent, aromatic smell that closely resembles the original cannabis strain used for its production is a good sign. This strong fragrance is due to the high terpene content preserved in the live resin, further confirming its quality.
