Caryophyllene (Care-ee-oh-fill-een) is also known as Beta-Caryophyllene. It's a terpene found in cannabis, and it really packs a punch! Remember the beautiful, hazy nostalgia of your first few tokes? Back in those days, we hardly knew what weed strains were! These days, your more “choosy” customers know what caryophyllene is, so it only makes sense that we have a little refresher on this amazing terpene!
Terpenes - What Are They?
First of all, what’s a terpene? Well, terpenes are special compounds found in many plants that make them smell and taste a certain way. Think about why an orange smells like an orange or why some weed smells like pine trees or lemons. That's terpenes doing their thing!
In weed, terpenes like beta-caryophyllene help make each strain unique, giving it a fruity, spicy, or earthy smell and taste. They also team up with other parts of the plant to make you feel chill, happy, or relaxed.
Most people are surprised to learn that terpenes aren’t unique to weed; they're in lots of other plants too, like fruits and flowers! And the Sensi Shredder PRO is the most gentle industrial cannabis shredder in the world, shredding your bud without sacrificing quality!
Caryophyllene Terpene Guide
Caryophyllene, or beta-caryophyllene, has a spicy, peppery aroma and taste. Often found in plants like clove, black pepper, rosemary — and of course, some types of cannabis — it’s one of the few terpenes that exist both in your spice rack and your stash box!
Caryophyllene adds a warm, woody complexity to the smell and flavor of your weed that can be likened to a stroll through a spice market. Fun fact: Caryophyllene is the only terpene known to directly interact with the endocannabinoid (ECS) system, specifically binding to CB2 receptors. This unique property sets it apart from other terpenes and makes it a point of interest in cannabis research!
