Kief, also known as ‘dry soft’ or ‘pollen,’ is a gold mine of all the good things in the cannabis plant. It contains shiny crystals filled with cannabinoids and terpenes - the ingredients that cause the euphoria and taste cannabis is known for. But what is Kief exactly? Kief is derived from trichomes - small, stalked glands that develop on the external epidermis of cannabis plants' flowers. Trichomes are the plant’s scent factories, synthesizing the chemical compounds that give cannabis its aroma and potency.
