Kief
Kief is the collection of tiny, powder-like crystals rich in cannabinoids and terpenes that naturally occur on cannabis flowers. It forms when trichomes—glandular hairs on the plant—break off and accumulate, often collected using screens or sieves. Kief contains a concentrated amount of active compounds like THC and CBD, making it potent. People often use kief to boost the strength of their cannabis, either by sprinkling it on buds, packing it into joints, or pressing it into concentrates. Its rich aroma and potency make it a valued byproduct in cannabis consumption.
