Definition

Terpenoids are organic chemicals that are naturally produced by many plants, including cannabis plants. They are what give the plant its distinctive aroma. Many researchers also believe that the terpenoids of the plant are also what provide each strain with its own distinctive flavor.

Controlling the levels of terpenoids in a plant helps increase and alter the entire flavor experience. This makes the plant appeal to a wider array of people by creating an entire connoisseurship for the varying levels of terpenoids that each plant produces. Researchers are even working on ways to synthesize the plant’s terpenoids to achieve even greater levels of aroma and taste appeal.
