What Are Sugar and Crumble Concentrates?
Sugar and Crumble start as BHO (Butane Hash Oil). This BHO has then been extracted using various methods to remove the solvent to leave behind the Cannabinoids and Terpenes. The difference between Sugar and Crumble is the amount of heat applied to the BHO after extraction.
- Sugar becomes sticky and glistens with Terpenes because of the way Cannabinoids crystalize and form a sticky granule.
- Crumbles are lighter, airier and can be molded into various shapes due to the process of low temperature extraction which causes the oil to become aerated in a honeycomb-like structure.
Because of the difference in texture, each will provide you with different flavor profiles, potencies and user experiences. Therefore, each will appeal to a different type of cannabis connoisseur.
Why Does Texture Matter?
Texture plays an important role in the sensory world of cannabis concentrates. In this sensory world, the texture of a concentrate will dictate what type of experience you will receive.
- Sugar provides an immediate hit of flavor and euphoric effects via the rapid release of Terpenes. The stickiness of Sugar helps lock in the flavors and aromas allowing for maximum effect of Terpenes when used in dab rigs and enjoyed by Terp Enthusiasts.
- Crumble on the other hand provides a subtle elegant experience. The clean vaporization of Crumble allows for long term storage and use in vape pens or rolled in a joint with no residue left behind.
Therefore, while Sugar may seem flashy and decadent, Crumble provides a clean, precise and convenient experience.
Which Will Fit Your Style?
When deciding between Sugar and Crumble, ask yourself what do I want from my high?
- Do you want an intense, aromatic experience with bold Terpene effects? Choose Sugar.
- Are you looking for a stable, convenient and portable product? Then Crumble is for you.
- Looking for something in the middle? Try hybrid textures such as badder or budder. These products will provide you with the flavor of sugar and the usability of crumble.
Regardless of which product you decide to purchase, both Sugar and Crumble represent the sophisticated world of modern cannabis extraction and offer unique dialogues of Terpenes, Cannabinoids and craftsmanship to unfold in every inhale.
