Sour Cannabis Edibles That Hit Fast Then Last Long
When you take a first bite of a sour edible there’s an instant reaction; the taste hits fast, is sharp and pucker-inducing, and can’t be ignored. Then it softens, becomes fruity and sweet. But this doesn’t happen until after the THC kicks-in.
This two-part process is all part of the fun. If you’re looking for cannabis edibles that offer a different sensory experience before the high kicks-in, then look no further than our sour edibles. Completely new to trying cannabis edibles? Our full range of Canna City cannabis edible products is definitely worth checking out before making up your mind.
The Science of Sour in Edibles – Why It Works So Well
While sour tastes aren’t just based on personal preference, but are triggered by citric, malic and tartaric acids (the same ingredients found in confectionery) that cause a sharp salivatory response which will prepare your body’s digestive system to absorb the edible quicker. You eat a sour gummy and your body responds straight away.
The initial sensory impact of a good sour edible also provides another important function when it comes to dosing – it clearly identifies when you’ve eaten. While mild flavoured gummies can easily blend together (one gummy looks like the next), a good sour edible slows you down. The acid hit acts as a natural break. Eat one, feel it and wait.
As the acidity fades away, the flavours transition from sharp citrus tones to sweet fruit finishes providing the palate with something to focus on while the THC works its way through your digestive system and liver. It’s certainly more entertaining than staring at a clock!
