A Glimpse into History

Banana, aka Banana OG, is the first hybrid with banana flavor and aroma. It is one of the most prominent members of the OG family and the progenitor of this delightful lineage. Hand in hand with Banana Kush, the result of crossing Ghost OG with Skunk Haze, they spread the roots of a family tree that has grown to include dozens of strains with a distinct banana character. Since its first steps in the early 2010s, this flavor profile has firmly established itself in cannabis history due to its unique sensory qualities. The strains included in this category have won numerous awards at prestigious international cups and competitions, have made their way to the top charts of the industry, and enjoy immense popularity among growers and users alike.

Flavor and Aroma

Despite its telltale name, the nature of banana cannabis is not as simple and straightforward as it first appears. Pioneering strains combined bananas with distinct fuel and pungent acetone notes. However, a surge of consumer interest in this original palette inspired breeders to engage in bold experimentation. Today, the shelves of seed stores around the world are stocked with diverse banana strains that feature notes of spices, fresh mint, cream, chocolate, nuts, sweet citrus, ripe berries, and tropical fruits.

The leading terpene in the banana cannabis phytoaromatic profile is limonene, complemented by myrcene and caryophyllene. Together, they create the magical combo that is the main reason more and more growers around the world are choosing banana strains to grow. With each toke of this fragrant smoke, an ordinary session is transformed into an unforgettable journey that reveals the potential of modern breeding science.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

As descendants of OG, the first banana-profile strains were indica-dominant, with effects leaning towards physical relaxation and mental sedation. Today, the spectrum of banana-cannabis effects has multiplied. It's now possible to find a strain with a distinctive flavor and aroma that can boost energy and alertness no less powerfully than a double espresso. Regardless of the indica-sativa ratio, watch out for the unstoppable potential of these strains; you will be hard-pressed to find flowers with less than 20% THC. Beginners and those with low tolerance are advised to use these strains moderately to ensure a comfortable and pleasurable introduction to their delicious world. Users of cannabis for medical purposes should certainly pay attention to the properties of this marvelous group of strains, which are effective in combating psychoemotional disorders, inflammation and pain, increasing concentration, and combating nausea and loss of appetite, all relevant in concomitant therapy for cancer diseases.

Product Range and Prospects

Strains with a banana profile never fail to impress, not only with their bold flavor and diversity of assortment. The abundant yields of resinous trichomes that generously cover dense colas open up possibilities for extracts and edibles, as well as offering something special for vaping enthusiasts and true stoners enjoying bongs and joints. Even though the demand for banana strains seems to be satisfied at the moment, breeders continue to create more and more amazing cultivars that fly off the shelves of cannabis stores. The only question is how far human ingenuity can go. There is no answer to that question, and we can only watch the industry evolve while enjoying the juicy banana smoke.
