What is Beta-Caryophyllene
Beta-Caryophyllene has a large chemical structure, which makes it a unique sesquiterpene. It’s reported as the only phytocannabinoid found outside the cannabis genus. This means it emulates the effects of a cannabinoid.
The terpene emits a sweet, spicy, and woody aroma with hints of clove. The terpene isolate can be naturally sourced from basil (Ocimum basilicum), oregano (Origanum vulgare), hops (Humulus lupulus), cloves (Syzygium aromaticum), black pepper (Piper nigrum), and black caraway (Nigella sativa). The flavor profile follows suit with its aroma and offers a dry, spicy, and peppery taste with hints of citrus.
Here are some specific strains Beta-Caryophyllene are commonly found in:
- Diamond Girl
- AMS
- Hash Plant
