What Is Kief?
Kief is the collection of loose trichomes (crystal-like resin glands) that fall off cannabis flower, often collected in the bottom of a grinder.
Kief Explained
Kief consists of the tiny, crystal-like trichome heads that separate from cannabis flower through handling, grinding, or agitation. Most quality grinders include a kief catcher — a fine mesh screen that collects these trichomes in a bottom compartment. Kief is more potent than flower because it is a concentrated collection of the parts of the plant that produce cannabinoids and terpenes. It can be sprinkled on bowls, added to joints, pressed into hash, or used to make edibles.
Why It Matters
Kief is a free bonus concentrate that accumulates naturally in your grinder. It is an easy way to boost the potency of any flower consumption method.
