Vanilla flavor in real vanilla beans comes from ethyl vanillin, which is an aldehyde and not a terpene. In cannabis, vanilla is simulated (and rather convincingly) with a special mix of terpenes that probably includes myrcene, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene. When you talk about ice-cream, you can say ‘plain vanilla’, but there’s nothing plain about vanilla flavor in cannabis strains. Actually, this characteristic sweet and creamy aroma is rather elusive. There are a couple of vanilla strains that have a reference to this flavor right in their names, but generally, you need to rely on user reviews to tell if their flavor profile features vanilla or not. Luckily, we’ve done this job for you, and in this category, you’ll find many weed strains, whose aroma and taste have an unmistakable vanilla presence.
