What is the Shave Ice strain?
Shave Ice is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 28.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Shave Ice is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (approximately 75% indica, 25% sativa) originally bred by Cannarado Genetics through crossing Sunset Sherbet with a combination of OGKB (OG Kush Breath) and Fruity Pebbles OG. The strain gained popularity in West Coast dispensaries during the late 2010s and early 2020s as part of the dessert-forward cannabis movement. Known for its striking visual appeal, Shave Ice buds display fluffy, popcorn-shaped bright neon green nugs with rich purple undertones, dark orange hairs, and a heavy coating of frosty white crystal trichomes that resemble sugar on snow, matching its namesake frozen treat. The strain has become notable for its syrupy-sweet fruit profile combined with creamy undertones, making it a favorite among consumers seeking dessert-like cannabis experiences. Multiple breeders have developed variations of this strain, including Hawaiian-themed versions that emphasize tropical flavors.
