Why Solventless?
Unpurged products pose a hazard of residue or potentially hazardous solvents for inhalation, which makes solventless extracts the preferred concentrate among health-conscious consumers. For this reason, at the Solventless Cup, we have chosen to exclusively highlight solventless products. This will increase awareness of solventless processing techniques, healthy consumption, and the best solventless products available for consumers who value their health. Sifting, ice water extraction, and pressing are examples of solventless techniques.
We advocate for preserving the full-spectrum integrity.
A True, Full-Flavor Experience: By avoiding harsh chemicals, volatile monoterpene and phytocannabinoid profiles remain unadulterated, ensuring a full-spectrum sensory experience.
Health-Conscious Demand: Products made with natural methods offer a cleaner alternative for consumers avoiding residual contaminants, a key driver in current market trends.
Artisanal Position: Methods that focus on preserving the natural integrity of the product represent high-quality craftsmanship, commanding premium appreciation and consumer loyalty.
