Do people actually like the taste of edibles with terpenes added? Ive been seeing more and more edible brands with recipes including terpene mixes as high as 15%. I tasted some for myself and got a bitter after taste that i come to expect out of almost any edible product that has either terps added or disty as the main active ingredient.
Shouldn’t decarbed isolate with no terps reintroduced be more of the standard for edibles/gummies?
terpenes are solvents at the end of the day. not meant to be digested?
I think it is stupid, but still have do it anyways. We have gotten lots of complaints about bitterness.
funny this post came up. i was just talking to our label designer about this exact thing because the owner and ceo want to flavor the tincture we will be making and want to use terpenes because we cant use flavorings. i told them it will be terrible because like you say they are a solvent and will be disgusting.
i just made some tincture for them though and flavored it with 2% terps. i tried a drop and it was terrible. curious to hear what their reaction will be.
Use essential oils. Still bitter but has more flavor.
ecspecially bc tincture are already kinda ruff by themselves. terps go in nose~ not tongue
idk I get it if you are trying to do a “full spectrum” or same strain gummie and want to try and reintroduce the same terps to some same batch isolate that would be the most genuine way of labeling as full spec without actually just decarbing bho which still doesnt tatse good even if its good quality. So im just at the point of wondering if people actual enjoy the taste or do they think they are getting extra added effects from cannabnoids from the terps; which is minimal
the unflavored tincture is not rough at all, i even made some that was about 200mg/1ml for my recent flights and it was fine, i just chased it with a drink and there was no aftertaste at all was just like taking a spoonful of oil that tasted like weed. im also making them with mct oil so maybe thats why?
its been like 90mins and i can still feel the weird feeling in my tongue. 0 chance im going to let this terp flavored stuff pass.
havent tried a tincture in at least 10 years that was prolly made with rso lol so might have to try one out here soon. Wonder if there is a way to extract straight flavonoids from hash and use those to substitute terpenes
flavonoids?
