Description
Crude extract is a term that refers to the initial oil produced during the extraction process of hemp and cannabis. It is a highly concentrated substance that contains various cannabinoids, terpenes, and other plant compounds. The consistency of crude extract can be thick and sticky, resembling a resin or hash. Depending on the extraction method used, the crude extract may require further refinement before it is ready for sale. However, with some advanced extraction methods like hydrocarbon extraction, the crude oil produced is already refined and can be sold as is. This raw and unprocessed extract is popularly used as a base ingredient for making different cannabis products like tinctures, edibles, and topicals.
The smell of crude extract can vary depending on the strain of cannabis used and the extraction method employed. Some crude extracts may have a strong and pungent aroma, while others may have a more subtle or earthy scent. The terpenes present in the extract can also contribute to its overall smell and taste.
