// Definition
The application of lyophilization (freeze drying) to freshly washed water hash, removing moisture through sublimation at low temperature and pressure to preserve terpenes and prevent oxidation. Produces a light, powdery product distinct from traditionally dried hash.
// From the Episode
Extended discussion about freeze drying techniques and equipment preferences. The freeze dryer preserves the initial terpene profile better than air drying, but the end product is fundamentally different from traditionally pressed and cured hash. Debate emerges about whether the freeze-dried powder form or the greased-up cured form is superior — consensus is they are different expressions of the same material.
