The Benefits of Crop-to-Cure®
Increased Potency
Extensive lab testing has proven that properly lyophilized cannabis can retain significantly more cannabinoids and terpenes compared to traditional drying and curing techniques, sometimes as much as 10-15% more.
Reduced Time to Market
Crop-to-Cure® techniques enable cultivators to take their crop from the garden to testing and package ready in a day or two, instead of multiple weeks or over a month. This also allows growers to trim and freeze their crop for future processing on demand, so that they can always offer a fresher, live dried flower instead of being forced to dry their entire harvest all at once.
Enhanced Consumer Appeal and Potency
Cannabis and hemp flowers that have been freeze dried correctly don’t experience any loss of volume while maintaining their original color, shape, and “live” aroma. Live dried is instantly recognizable as a high quality product that can command a top shelf price point.
Creates a Truly Differentiated Product
Live dried cannabis is currently uncommon or non-existent on most dispensary shelves, which gives brands the rare opportunity akin to being an early solventless pioneer the chance to sell a high quality offering that their competitors aren’t.
Requires Less Space
Even some of the largest Cuddon HiLyph edition freeze dryers used in the Crop-to-Cure® process only take up a small portion of the space typically required for standard drying and curing techniques.
Freezes Mold, Mildew, & Pests During Drying
When plants are exposed to open environments during the drying and curing process, if humidity controls aren’t perfect, the chance for microbial growth or pest infestation becomes much higher. Lyophilized drying sharply reduces that possibility.
Potential for Increased Extraction Yields
Freeze dried cannabis and hemp flowers can be extracted in all the same ways that traditionally dried and cured ones can, but offer the unique benefit of increased cellular porosity while maintaining a live terpene profile. This means that in a variety of cases from hydrocarbon to solventless ice water extraction, increased yields and potency are possible with certain strains.
