Banana Breath
Banana Breath
Overview
Banana Breath is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain bred by Thug Pug Genetics through crossing Banana OG with Mendo Breath F2. This strain emerged during the late-2010s wave of dessert-forward, OG-influenced hybrids that reshaped North American cannabis menus, when breeders routinely combined Mendo Breath derivatives with flavorful cuts to enhance resin, bag appeal, and terpene intensity. The strain produces dense, dark forest green buds with dark purple accents, sparse burnt orange pistils, and heavy trichome coverage.
Banana Breath is characterized by its distinctive aromatic profile that closely matches its name. The aroma resembles freshly sliced bananas with notes of pine and citrus, accompanied by musky and sweet undertones, while the flavor mirrors this profile with sweet, fruity, and musky qualities plus a citrus aftertaste. The strain's signature aromatic twist includes a warm, banana-bread scent layered with nutty, vanilla, and earthy notes, making it popular among both flower connoisseurs and extract artists due to its sticky trichomes. Lab results typically show THC content between 20-26%, with total cannabinoids ranging from 22-30%, while CBD levels remain low at 0-1%.
