You\u2019ve surely heard of cannabinoids and terpenes, right? But flavonoids are also present in the cannabis plant, and although their name comes from the Latin <em>flavus<\/em>, meaning \u201cyellow,\u201d they contribute much more than just color. These bioactive compounds not only influence the aroma and yellow hues of plants, they also play a crucial role in the therapeutic effects of many of them.
