Monthly Cannabis Review

CHURRO CAKE - Pharmer's Daughter Edibles

by Melissa Hall, M.Ed.

Back on the hunt again, with crisp November mornings and foliage galore, Fall is in full swing. Of course, we cannot conceptualize November at all without being Thankful. November reminds us to Give Thanks and also to be thankful for all we have. So with that pleasant, warm, and familiar Thanksgiving ambiance all around us in November, I knew this month's review just had to be an exceptionally Thankful infused dessert. Only one name came to mind when I thought about the Best of the Best of infused, gourmet Desserts. A recent High Times First Place Cannabis Cup winner for Edibles: Gummies category for their Rozin Bites, which are also amazing. Pharmer’s Daughter Edibles is no new name to the infused edibles and dessert game. Using only Rosin to infuse all of their goodies, Pharmer’s Daughter Edibles has also built quite the solid reputation for making the most potent desserts around, not to mention a reputation for impeccable consistency and providing the highest quality Rosin infused products on the market.

Cannabis is a family affair for Chanel, the owner of PDE and the wife of Phresh Harvest Grass Roots Cultivation’s owner. The #phreshphamily is a crowd favorite among patients and non-patients alike.

The Chronic was excited to get an exclusive interview and look into Chanel’s, the owner and operator of Pharmer’s Daughter Edibles, kitchen. All of her edibles are handcrafted with that true small-batch exquisite quality with Unbelievable attention to detail. She also uses no preservatives at all in any of her remarkable confections. This self-taught Chef gives her Mom much credit for being such an amazing cook and a great example to her growing up.

Surprising The Chronic Magazine with a show-stopping 3 layer, 3000 mg Churro Cake. With infused, moist cinnamon and sugar cake layers infused caramel and infused cinnamon and sugar cream cheese icing with crispy churro pieces resting on top of the masterpiece. I can only describe this one as simply Heavenly. You do not want to stop eating this cake, but the milligrams quickly remind you to take it easy. Did I mention how delicious The 3000 mg, 3 layer Churro cake was?

The cake, on flavor alone, was a perfect 10, on effect alone was a solid 20. This masterpiece was not for beginners. The full spectrum difference, as I call it, was into full swing within the first bites of the decadent delight. The good news, you can get all of the flavors by Pharmer’s Daughter Edibles in small, individual-sized, and lower milligrams. Ask your favorite dispo to carry Pharmer’s Daughter Edibles, if they don’t already have them available.

It is no surprise that this woman charged edible company motto is “to provide quality while bringing back true handcrafted edibles.” I’m always asked this question so it seemed to be a fitting time to answer it. What is it about Rosin-infused edibles that make them so different when compared to distillate-infused edibles?

The cannabis plant actually has over 100 cannabinoids, as well as an array of terpenes, the compounds responsible for scents and flavors. If you are satisfied with a typical edible high, distillates will do the job.

However, if you are more interested in a smoke-free experience of the full plant, hash rosin may better fit your aesthetics. Live Rosin comes from a recently developed extraction process, which, unlike other extraction methods, does not use any solvents or chemical processes. That means that you won’t have to worry about the trace residue of a process in your edible.

To isolate the plant’s natural components, rosin extraction relies on physical forces—cold, heat, agitation, and pressure—to yield a cleaner product and consumption experience. The live rosin process starts by freezing the plant immediately after harvest, which helps to preserve the trichomes that contain cannabinoids and terpenes.

Next, the plant material is placed in an ice-water bath and gently agitated to separate the trichomes from the rest of the plant material. The trichomes are filtered out, creating water hash (aka bubble hash or ice hash), which is then turned into gooey, potent live rosin using heat and pressure. The result of this process means that the cannabis plant is fully expressed, with the strain’s complete suite of cannabinoids and terpenes.

This makes the live rosin experience less generic, and more specific to the cultivar from which it came. All of what you’d get from smoking cannabis flower is preserved in the live rosin, which is the key ingredient in all of Pharmer’s Daughter Edibles.

This full-spectrum experience is definitely what contributes to the potency and purity of the products. No matter what your taste is in sweets, you’re sure to find a new favorite in one of Pharmer’s Daughter Edibles' many selections.
