What is the Banana Ice Cream strain?
Banana Ice Cream is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 28.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and banana and berry flavor profile.
Banana Ice Cream is a hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing Strawberry Banana with Gelato 41, offering a unique and satisfying flavor palette reminiscent of a banana milkshake or ice cream with fruity undertones. This perfectly balanced hybrid consists of 50% Indica and 50% Sativa genetics, combining the relaxing, body-heavy effects of indica with the energizing, cerebral effects of sativa. Originally developed by Bluedog Genetics, the strain has also been bred by other companies including Holy Smoke Seeds and Sin City Seeds, each with their own genetic variations.
The strain features tight dense buds covered in frosty trichomes with a sweet and musky cookies smell that reminds some users of Skittles candy. The buds are loaded with trichomes, making it ideal for extraction production and providing intense flavors along with notable levels of THC. Analytical tests show THC levels typically ranging from 18% to 24%, while trace amounts of CBD usually hover between 0.1% and 0.5%, contributing to a more balanced overall experience. The strain is particularly valued for its robust terpene profile, particularly high in myrcene (up to 30% of total terpenes), caryophyllene (15-20%), and limonene (10-18%), which contribute to its distinctive effects and therapeutic potential.
