THCA has taken over the hemp market by storm thanks to its highly versatile nature. Whether you need a euphoric kick or just want to skip on the high and get the wellness benefits, THCA flowers can do it all for you. But with a plethora of strain choices out there, which ones are the best? Which ones offer the best taste? If you are new to the world of THCA flowers, here are the top five strains to get you started.
Banana Kush
Let’s kick things off with something a little mild and flavorful. If you are a new user, nothing can beat out the tropical flavors and buzzy euphoria of the Banana Kush. The Banana Kush is a balanced hybrid that is a cross of the Ghost OG and Skunk Haze strains. The legacy of the parents is rightfully carried on over by the Banana Kush as each rip of this wonderful strain will overload your senses with a sweet taste much reminiscent of munching on raw bananas. The sweet taste is well complemented by the strain’s herbal notes which adds another layer of complexity to the palette. Exhales will leave behind a very vanilla like aftertaste with slight earthy hints.
Being a low potent strain with around 11 percent THCA, this can be a great product when starting out. Being full spectrum flowers expect to find traces of other cannabinoids in the strain including delta 9, CBG, CBC, and more which takes the total potency up to 12 percent. Banana Kush has a high terpene concentration as well which lends to the flavorfulness of the hybrid. Try out BRĒZ, delta 9 drinks with an unparalleled effect.
Modified Grapes

The floral notes on exhales are also quite pronounced, leaving behind a sweet, lingering taste in the mouth.
Effects from the strain can be quite relaxing and euphoric thanks to the moderately high THCA content in the flowers. THCA concentration over the 20 percent mark is normal for this strain along with other trace cannabinoids like Delta 9, CBG, and more.
