The highlight of the “Festival de la Sidra” is the cannabinoid “Primavera”

Cannabinoid cider does not have a psychoactive effect, as it is made from the leaves and inflorescences of industrial hemp. In addition to its therapeutic properties, another feature of “Primavera” is its aroma and taste. When apple cider is mixed with cannabinoid hydrolysate, a special aroma of rose petals or jasmine is obtained.

There are apple, pear, sparkling and champagne ciders. Cannabinoid cider will be the highlight of the “Festival de la Sidra” held November 2-3 in General Roca, Argentina.

“We work with a machine that extracts essential oils and hydrosols,” explains Luciano Rivera, president of the Gen Foundation, “working with cannabis, our equipment extracts the aromas of the plant using steam extraction.” That is, the Gen Foundation produces cannabinoid hydrolysate. It is this technology that contributes to a new invention: cider with cannabinoid hydrolysate, which changes the taste and gives therapeutic benefits to the ordinary apple product.

Commentary from experts of the Association “Ukrainian Industrial Hemp”

The use of cannabinoid hydrolysate in non-alcoholic products is not something extraordinary in the modern hemp market. In a number of economically developed countries of the world, non-alcoholic, low-alcohol or alcoholic beverages are already being produced, the recipes of which include cannabinoid hydrolysate. In our country, cannabinoid hydrolysate made from the leaves and inflorescences of technical hemp of the therapeutic orientation of the “Mriya” variety is already being produced on an industrial scale. The result of its use will be the appearance on the Ukrainian market by the end of 2024 of a number of non-alcoholic and low-alcohol cannabinoid drinks with significant therapeutic potential.
