A cannabis concentrate made from fresh-frozen plant material, preserving the full terpene profile of the living plant.
Live resin is a cannabis concentrate made from fresh plant material that is flash-frozen immediately after harvest rather than being dried and cured. This preservation technique captures the full terpene profile of the living plant, resulting in a concentrate with exceptional flavor and aroma that closely mirrors the fresh cannabis flower.
How It Is Made
After harvest, the cannabis plant is immediately frozen, typically at temperatures below negative 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The frozen material is then extracted using butane or propane in a closed-loop system, with the entire process maintained at low temperatures to preserve the volatile terpenes that would otherwise evaporate during traditional drying and curing. The result is a concentrate with significantly higher terpene content than extracts made from dried flower.
Why Live Resin Is Popular
Live resin has become one of the most sought-after concentrate categories because it delivers the most authentic representation of a strain's true flavor and aroma. The preserved terpenes contribute to a more complex and nuanced experience compared to distillate or extracts made from cured material. Live resin comes in various consistencies from saucy to sugary depending on the processing technique. It can be dabbed, used in a vape pen, or topped on flower. For terpene enthusiasts and flavor-focused consumers, live resin represents the gold standard in cannabis concentrates.
