Mint Premium - Budder - CNDY P

Budder

A soft, opaque, creamy concentrate with the consistency of cake batter, frosting, or soft butter. Badder/budder is made by stirring or whipping an extract, often with gentle heat. Agitation makes the THCa form countless tiny crystals that spread evenly through the terpenes, turning a clear extract cloudy and creamy.

The two names are used interchangeably. "Badder" tends to mean a looser, wetter texture and "budder" a slightly firmer one. Both describe texture only. A badder can be made with a solvent extract (live/cured resin badder) or without solvent (live rosin badder), so read the listing to see the extract type.

Ethanol Extract

Extracted with ethanol (alcohol), rather than a hydrocarbon such as butane or propane. The solvent is then purged, and the lab report tests for any residual solvents.

Hybrid

A plant bred from both indica-type and sativa-type parents. Menus use "Hybrid" for effects described as in between or mixed. The label is often narrowed to indica-dominant hybrid, sativa-dominant hybrid, or balanced ("50/50"). Any percentages given are the breeder's estimate from the plant's family tree, not a measured one.

After decades of crossbreeding, nearly all modern commercial strains are hybrids in the genetic sense, regardless of the label they carry. The label says more about how a product is positioned than about the plant. A listed lineage (the cross) is more specific, but a strain name doesn't guarantee chemistry either.
