Today, there are many varieties of CBD cannabis with THC contents of up to 1% with different scents and flavours, so there is something for almost every grower. Wondering what all the fruity varieties have to offer? Do these varieties actually have a fruity taste and smell? And if so, what kind? In this article, we're going to take a look at some of the best and most well-known fruity cannabis varieties that have a terpene profile reminiscent of fruit.

What terpenes cause fruity flavours and aromas?

The flavour of fruity cannabis varieties is based on their terpene content. Terpenes are fragrances that are responsible for the pleasant smell of flowers, trees and fruits. They are also the basis of the characteristic smell of cannabis. There are many different terpenes and these are the reason for the fruity smell of cannabis. Certain fruit terpenes are the cause of citrus, grape and other aromas and flavours.

Fruit varieties of cannabis contain a number of terpenes that are also found in fruit, such as limonene, myrcene, geraniol and pinene. Terpenes such as limonene are found in fruit peels and are a major component of citrus flavours. Fruit varieties are generally characterised by a balance of citrus, earthy, bitter and sweet flavours.

The most common fruit-flavoured varieties

All fruity CBD cannabis varieties smell like delicious fresh fruit. For example, fruity CBD cannabis strains can have notes of sour lemon, juicy berries, tropical pineapple, tart tangerine and more. They can also have just one dominant fruity scent or a combination of scents. There are hundreds of fruity cannabis varieties, most of which fall into one of six categories: lemon, berry, cherry, grape, orange or tropical.

Citrus-scented cannabis varieties

This category includes varieties with a lemon and orange scent. These varieties are usually high in limonene (a citrus terpene also found in the peels of lemons and oranges). Lemon varieties are among the most popular fruit-flavoured varieties due to their full, refreshing and tart aroma.

Do all fruit varieties have the same effects?

Terpene aromas may affect how you feel, but they are certainly not the only reason for the aroma effect of any variety. Additionally, fruit varieties can have very different terpene profiles, so they may not have the same terpene content. Fruit varieties may also have very different cannabinoid profiles, so the CBD and other cannabinoid content of one fruit variety may differ significantly from another. This is why you may feel energised with some fruit varieties and not others.

In general, CBD fruit cannabis varieties have some similarities in terpene profile, but they are still completely different cannabis genetics.
