Fruity Cannabis Strains

In this article we’re going to talk about fruity cannabis strains; strains that catch your eye due to their amazing aroma. Growing cannabis is becoming much more common these days, and many people are searching for that perfect plant. Regardless of whether it’s for recreational or medicinal use, genetic evolution has become a game changer in many seed banks, offering a wide range of flavors and effects.

In this particular case we’re not going to talk about sativas or indicas in particular, b ut rather the flavor of some amazing strains that are available on the seed market right now.

Within the realm of cannabis flavors and aromas, traditional and experienced growers have distinguished a clear division between Skunk, Incense and Fruity. Of course it’s extremely hard to classify many strains into just one of those categories as some buds have multiple tones and hints when smoked; you can even find Skunk strains that taste fruity.

Before we begin talking about which strains we think have the best fruity flavor, we’re going to talk a little about why the smell and flavor of strains differ.

It’s basically down to the terpenes in the plant; terpenes are organic molecules that form part of your plants’ secondary metabolites. They make up the majority of essential oils in cannabis plants and are found largely in resin.

For the plants, however, terpenes are chemical weapons to be used against predators; they attract pollinators like bees and they can also protect plants from high temperatures. Some growers say that using halides during the last weeks of flowering will increase thermic stress in the plant, provoking a higher production of terpenes which then increases the potency of the flavor.

For consumers, these terpenes make for an absolute delight to the senses, and not just because of their aroma or flavor; terpenes are also responsible for certain psychoactive effects alongside cannabinoids. They can give different effects depending on the combination of terpenes and their quantity.

Keep in mind that over 100 kinds of terpenes have been discovered, so the combination of terpenes in different quantities is almost endless, making for an extremely long list of varied flavors and aromas.

In this case we’re going to talk about some particularly fruity strains. Although each strain has a characteristic fragrance, it’s hard to determine which terpenes are the ones that cause such an aroma. You can find citrus-like strains, strains that smell like berries and tropical or exotic strains.

Citric Strains:

These are the most common fruity strains. Some of the most famous ones have a lemony taste, like Sensi Star by Paradise Seeds, Super Lemon Haze by Green House seeds or Lemon Skunk.

For those that prefer orange tones, we have California Orange by Dutch passion, Tangie by DNA Genetics or Cream Mandarine by Sweet Seeds. And of course, there’s the famous Sweet Deep Grapefruit by Dinafem which has a distinctive taste of… you guessed it, grapefruit.

Berry Strains:

There are some amazing strawberry strains like Strawberry Cough by Dutch Passion, although keep in mind that “berry” strains (strains with the word berry in them) aren’t always fruity in flavor or aroma. Blueberry by Dutch Passion is also another strain that tastes amazing.

Exotic Strains:

There are many exotic tasting strains out there, and Txomango by Genehtik Seeds or Delahaze by Paradise seeds have an amazing mango taste and others like Pineapple Chunk by Barney’s Farm have a delicious pineapple hint.

Other strains have sweet tastes, like Bubblegum by Serious Seeds, Bubba Kush by Dinafem or Cream Caramel and Red Poison by Sweet Seeds.

Conclusion:

Like we said before, there’s an almost never ending list of banks and growers, as well as a never ending list of terpene combinations that can occur in many different strains; it’s hard to determine which strains are the best or which terpenes cause specific flavors and aromas, so you should do some research on the subject if you’re looking for a mouth-watering strain.
