What is Kief?

Kief is a natural cannabis concentrate made up of the resinous trichomes that fall off dried cannabis flowers. These trichomes contain a high concentration of cannabinoids, especially THC, along with terpenes that give cannabis its flavor and aroma. Kief is typically collected using a grinder with a mesh screen or through dry sifting, and it’s prized for its potency and versatility. While not as refined as other concentrates, kief offers a more natural, unprocessed experience.

How to Store Kief

To preserve kief’s potency and flavor, store it in an airtight, lightproof container in a cool, dark place. Exposure to heat, moisture, air, or light can degrade the cannabinoids and terpenes over time. A glass or silicone container with a tight seal works best to prevent loss and keep your kief fresh for longer. For larger amounts, consider freezing in small batches to minimize repeated exposure to air.

Ways to Consume Kief

Kief is incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed in a variety of ways:

• Sprinkled on flower: Boost potency by dusting kief onto a bowl, joint, or blunt for a stronger, more flavorful hit.

• Pressed into hash: With heat and pressure, kief can be turned into hash for a more concentrated experience.

• Added to edibles: Decarboxylate kief and infuse it into butter or oil for making edibles with an extra THC punch.

• Vaped or dabbed: When clean and fine enough, kief can be vaped or dabbed—though it may leave more residue than purer concentrates.
