Kief, often referred to as
"pollen", is the most potent part of the CBD Cannabis flower. It
consists of fine crystals that form at the tip of each trichome.
Trichomes are the tiny, sticky,
resinous glandular growths on the surface of Cannabis flowers and leaves. They
are responsible for producing most of the terpenes and cannabinoids.
Under a microscope, trichomes
look like delicate mushrooms growing on the surface of leaves. They are what
give buds their shiny, appearance.
Kief, therefore, is the icing
on those shiny little trichomes.
Kief is special because it is
loaded with extremely high concentrations of cannabinoids and terpenes. It is
like a concentrated broth of cannabinoids and terpenes at our disposal.
Compared to CBD flower in
general, Kief is noticeably higher in CBD, perhaps 3-4 times the CBD content of
the flower.
Kief is a natural concentrate and
in this case organic, and it has been used to make Rosin.
