What Is Kief?

That fine, sticky dust in the bottom chamber of your grinder isn’t leftovers — it’s some of the most potent part of the flower.

Quick answer: Kief is loose trichomes — the resin glands packed with cannabinoids and terpenes. It collects at the bottom of a grinder and is much more potent than flower. Sprinkle it on a bowl, add it to a joint, or press it into hash.

Why it’s strong

Trichomes are where the plant concentrates its cannabinoids, so a pinch of pure kief packs far more punch than the same amount of flower. Go easy.
