Unearthing the Apple Fritter Strain’s Genetic Makeup

The Apple Fritter strain provides a harmonious fusion of genetics, offering a perfectly balanced blend of indica and sativa components. This balanced blend, a cross between Sour Apple and Animal Cookies, is believed to hail from the sunny state of California. This delicious strain was initially crafted by Lumpy’s Flowers in the early 2000s. Its reputation for fruity flavors and a pleasantly elevating experience has fueled its popularity ever since.

What Apple Fritter Looks Like

Apple Fritter is as delightful as biting into a warm apple pastry on a crisp Sunday morning. Buds from the Apple Fritter strain are a visual masterpiece of dark olive green and hints of regal purple, with vibrant orange hairs and glistening trichomes. The strain’s aroma is known to be earthy and herbal, accented by notes of apple, citrus and even a touch of diesel. But the true magic happens upon tasting this strain. As its name implies, the Apple Fritter strain offers a strong apple taste with a hint of sweet strawberry and flaky pastry dough. 

What’s the Potency and Cannabinoid Content of Apple Fritter?

With an average THC content between 20% and 23% THC, the Apple Fritter strain boasts a potent punch for patients with high tolerance levels. This high THC content accounts for the strain’s powerful and relaxing effects. Apple Fritter also features a small amount, about 1% of CBG, adding to the depths of its therapeutic potential. 

The Terpenes Profile

Apple Fritter’s captivating aroma should be credited to a duet of its two most dominant terpenes, Limonene and Caryophyllene. Caryophyllene, with its spicy and black pepper tones, offers Apple Fritter more euphoric, stress-relieving effects. Meanwhile, limonene brings the citrus and some added uplifting qualities. These two terpenes combine to create the unforgettable Apple Fritter smell beloved by patients throughout Hawaii.

Navigating Potential Side Effects of Apple Fritter

Moderation is crucial to avoiding potential pitfalls, especially for new patients. Take note of how much you’re consuming whenever you try Apple Fritter (or any other strain or cannabis product). Only take as much as you need to feel your desired effects and avoid overconsuming whenever possible.
