What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the distinct smells and flavors associated with different cannabis strains. But did you know that terpenes can also complement and enhance the flavors of various foods?

Terpene Pairing Basics

Just like wine pairing, cannabis terpene pairing involves matching the flavor profiles of cannabis strains with complementary foods. Here are some popular terpenes and their potential food pairings:

  • Limonene (citrusy): Pairs well with seafood, citrus desserts, and Thai cuisine
  • Myrcene (earthy, musky): Complements root vegetables, red meats, and lentils
  • Pinene (pine-like): Enhances the flavors of rosemary-infused dishes and forest fruits
  • Linalool (floral): Pairs beautifully with lavender-infused desserts and light, fragrant teas
