Frozen

In the world of hemp and cannabis, the term frozen means “frozen” in English. It is used to describe plant material placed at a very low temperature shortly after harvesting in order to preserve certain characteristics of the plant as effectively as possible.

This method is intended in particular to limit the natural changes that can occur during drying or storage. It is frequently used as a preliminary step in certain processing or extraction methods.

Low-temperature preservation

Rapid freezing makes it possible to preserve plant material in a state close to that observed at the time of harvest. The flowers or parts of the plant are generally stored at below-zero temperatures until they are used.

Used in certain extractions

The term frozen is often associated with processing methods that use freshly frozen plant material. This approach is particularly known in the production of certain concentrates and extracts.

A term that has become commonplace

Today, frozen is a widely used term in the cannabis industry to distinguish products made from frozen material from those produced using traditionally dried material.
