Where Does CBD Come From?

The Source: The Hemp Plant

CBD, or cannabidiol, is extracted from the hemp plant, a variety of Cannabis sativa. Unlike marijuana, hemp contains low levels of THC, the compound responsible for the psychoactive effects associated with cannabis. Hemp is grown for its rich CBD content and industrial applications, such as fiber and seeds.

The journey of CBD begins with the careful cultivation of hemp. Farmers select specific hemp strains that are bred for high CBD and low THC content. At Organic Grit, we use Hawaiian Haze, a strain known for its robust cannabinoid profile.

This hemp is grown on our partner farm in Wisconsin, where we closely monitor growth conditions, soil quality, and plant health to ensure a consistent and potent yield.

Every step of the cultivation process is aimed at producing high-quality hemp plants, ready for CBD extraction.

The Extraction Process

Once the hemp plants are harvested, the next critical step is extraction. This process isolates CBD and other beneficial compounds from the plant material. Organic Grit utilizes ethanol extraction, a method that uses food-grade ethanol to separate the cannabinoids from the plant.

Ethanol extraction is favored for its efficiency and ability to preserve the full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes found in hemp. This method involves soaking the plant material in ethanol, which draws out the desired compounds.

The solution is then filtered and the ethanol is carefully evaporated, leaving behind a pure, potent CBD extract. At Organic Grit, we rely on ethanol extraction to produce the highest quality CBD, which is then used in products like our 1500MG Organic Grit Salve.

This salve offers users a potent, full-spectrum experience, supporting pain relief and skin health with each application.

Quality Assurance Through Testing

Ensuring the quality and safety of CBD products is a priority. After extraction, the CBD oil undergoes rigorous testing to confirm its cannabinoid content and purity. These tests verify that the product contains the correct amount of CBD and that THC levels remain below the federal limit of 0.3%. This step is crucial in maintaining the legal status and safety of CBD products.

At Organic Grit, every batch of CBD is sent to SC Labs in Denver, Colorado, for thorough testing. This ensures that our products are free from pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, and other contaminants.

The testing process also confirms the potency of our CBD, so customers can trust that they are getting a product that meets the highest standards. By making these lab results available to our customers, we maintain transparency and build trust.

One Farm One Strain: Consistency in Every Product

The consistency of our products is a direct result of our One Farm One Strain practice. By using a single strain of hemp from one farm, we eliminate the variability that can arise from using multiple sources or strains.

Hawaiian Haze is specifically chosen for its consistent cannabinoid profile, which ensures that each batch of CBD is uniform in quality and potency.

This approach allows us to control every aspect of the cultivation and production process. Growing all our hemp on a single farm in Wisconsin gives us the ability to oversee the plants from seed to harvest, ensuring optimal conditions at every stage.

The consistency in our farming and production processes translates into a reliable product, whether it's our 1500MG Organic Grit CBD Gummies or any other CBD offering. This consistency is what sets Organic Grit apart in the crowded CBD market.
