What is Cannabis Kief?
Cannabis kief is a fine powdery concentrate made from the trichomes that coat cannabis buds. Trichomes are tiny, crystal-covered structures that produce the plant's essential oils, including THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids.
Extraction Process
Extraction of kief involves gently brushing or sieving the cannabis plant material to collect the trichomes. This method is commonly used in the production of kief because it preserves the potency and purity of the concentrate.
