Introducing a new benchmark in cannabis edibles with first whole cannabis flower infused gummies—natural cannabis taste and effects take spotlight without additives
DENVER, Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Azuca, a leader in fast-acting cannabis edibles and beverages powered by its TiME INFUSION® process, has partnered with Flower Union to introduce the first fast-acting edible infused with whole-flower cannabis. This solventless, whole-spectrum product offers a true-to-plant experience so consumers can taste and feel the flower's natural effects in a fast-acting, sessionable gummy.
Azuca's new Whole-Plant ACTiVATOR® product captures the authentic character and strain-specific flavors of the flower, preserving the terpene experience and delivering a full-bodied flavor profile that is unique to each strain. This includes highlighting the visible flower in each gummy and celebrating the herbal and floral notes—delivering products that provide the same feeling as cannabis flower along with its taste and looks, free from artificial flavors and additives.
"The expertise of the Flower Union team has been crucial in bringing this industry-changing edible to consumers after years of in-house science development," said Kim Sanchez Rael, CEO of Azuca. "This collaboration delivers a complete plant experience that is holistic, innovative, and scalable."
Together, Azuca and Flower Union have created a product that honors the complexity of cannabis, delivering an authentic edible experience true to the plant's essence. This launch marks a new chapter in cannabis edibles. Flower Union's mission is to capture the true essence of top-tier cannabis in a form that is convenient, effective and reliable. By bringing together the finest cannabis strains, ingredients and technologies, Flower Union crafts exceptional products that provide a sensorial experience as authentic and nuanced as inhaling, without the smoke. Flower Union works with trusted cultivators to curate a selection of renowned cannabis strains to ensure every product embodies the distinctive essence and effects of the whole flower like no other cannabis edible on the market. For the first product batch, Flower Union is partnering with Hi-Fuel, a top Colorado cultivator committed to high quality and innovation, with a focus on sustainable cultivation practices and a passion for excellence.
"By collaborating with Azuca and using its whole plant infusion, we've crafted a product that stays true to the flower in every way—effect, flavor, and experience," said Jon Spadafora, President of Flower Union. "This gummy tastes like cannabis smells, with nothing added except a pectin base and just enough sweetness to enhance the plant's natural flavor."
Flower Union gummies activate within 5 to 15 minutes, providing the whole-spectrum benefits of the plant with reliable, precise dosing. Consumers will experience the full sensory effects of cannabis in a sessionable and convenient form without inhalation.
"This is exactly what today's cannabis consumer wants—an experience that stays true to the plant in both flavor and effect," added Rael. "Using whole cannabis flower, we've created an edible that offers fast, consistent effects while preserving the plant's integrity."
Flower Union Artisan Gummies will be available in dispensaries across Colorado with additional state expansion to follow. For more information on Flower Union and to find a store near you, visit flowerunion.co. For additional details on Azuca's Whole-Plant ACTiVATOR®, see here.
