In the kitchen
Cooks through
The heaviest aromatics in cannabis, and the ones that behave like ordinary kitchen spices — black pepper and cloves carry the same compounds and neither is ruined by an oven. What you smell in the jar is close to what you taste in the finished thing, which cuts both ways: it is why the grassiness people complain about is usually this half of the profile.
The same compound is in ginger, jasmine, tea tree and lemongrass — which is the short version of why these pairings work. You are not matching a flavor to the cannabis, you are adding more of something the flower already tastes of.

From StrainTrackr. Each of these breeders named nerolidol on their own product page — a claim about their cultivar, not a lab result. Most strains have no terpenes published at all, so this is a sample of what is documented rather than a ranking of what is strongest.
