Cool Facts: Terpenes!

Updated: Oct 2, 2021

As you search the internet for “terpenes” or “terpenes for sale online,” you’ve probably come across various articles and studies explaining terpenes and their uses. At Proper Kushty, we want to keep you ahead of the game and informed. We’ve put together this blog post to share with you quick and interesting facts about terpenes we haven’t found anywhere else.


Terpene Facts


Terpenes can be found almost anywhere

Terpenes are a collection of widely diverse organic compounds that affect the aroma and flavour of various plants, fruits, and more. When you smell a daisy, you’re most likely experiencing a collection of terpenes. Want to know what makes an avocado smell so great? Terpenes. Finally, when you look around at nature, the smell of a pine tree and the taste of honey are both affected by terpenes.


Proper terpene storage maintains aroma and flavour

It’s important you store your terpene isolate or strain properly to maintain the aroma and flavour profile. Without proper storage, your terpenes could gradually lose its attractive aroma and potent flavouring. We suggest you follow the storage instructions with every purchase to ensure maximum enjoyment and satisfaction.


The quality of your terpene is affected by how the plant is fed

Whether it's canna or another plant, the quality of the extracted terpene is affected by the food the plant is fed. If you’re looking to consume canna-based terpenes, consider asking about how the plant was fed, maintained, and grown. When it comes to consuming terpenes from sources like other plants, trees, fruits, and more, request to know about the sourcing process, including source choice, storage, and extraction.


Terpenes can be sold in bottles

In fact, companies sell terpene isolates online just for you. You don’t need to visit a local store or homeopathic shop to scour their shelves in the aromatherapy section to find what you’re looking for.


There is a terpene wheel

If you’ve ever taken an art class or chosen the colours for the tiles in your kitchen, you’ve most likely come across what’s called “the colour wheel.” Terpenes have the same wheel, which shows the type of terpene, where it can be found, its flavour profile, and it’s aroma. As silly as it may sound to have a terpene wheel, it’s important to understand that there have been more than 30,000 terpenes recorded to exist on this planet.
