What Makes a Cannabis Strain Fruity?
But wait! Before we dive into the different fruity cannabis strains to buy, let’s discover what actually gives a plant like cannabis such fruity flavours. Let’s be honest, it’s a bit bizarre how a simple puff of a simple plant can place such undeniable fruity hints on your tastebuds. And what’s more, while some strains smell like fruit, they may taste like diesel. And while others might have a strong sweet smell, they taste like tart blackcurrants.
So, what makes a cannabis strain fruity? Well, the answer can be summed up in one simple word: terpenes. Terpenes are the naturally occurring compounds responsible for both flavour and scent. When you walk past a blooming Jasmine bush in the Spring, you can give terpenes thanks for delivering that sweet scent to your nose. There are many different terpenes, and the most common terpenes found in fruity strains are myrcene and limonene.
Now that we know the ‘whys’ behind a deliciously fruity strain, let’s go through our list of the fruitiest cannabis strains available today.
