About Juicy Fruit
Juicy Fruit (originally released as Fruity Juice) is a legendary Dutch hybrid created in the early 1990s by master breeders at Sensi Seeds in Amsterdam. An authentic F1 fusion of two pure geographic extremes—a resinous Afghan indica and a soaring, sweet Thai sativa—Juicy Fruit was developed to unite pure landrace flavor with robust indoor vigor. The plants produce massive, spear-like colas drenched in sticky resin. The aroma is legendary: an uncannily authentic scent of sweet Juicy Fruit chewing gum, candied tropical fruit punch, ripe bananas, and sweet floral incense. Consuming Juicy Fruit delivers an uplifting, feel-good cerebral euphoria paired with a warm, gentle body relaxation.
