Berry White is an indica-dominant hybrid strain that also goes by White Berry and Blue Venom. It’s 75% indica and 25% sativa and tastes like sweet blueberries and pine trees (a classic combination), with THC levels ranging from 16%-22%.
The punny name was inspired by American singer-songwriter Barry White, whose smooth, deep voice led him to become one of the best-selling music artists of all time. Like the legendary singer’s voice, Berry White is noted for its soothing, relaxing effects, and this makes Berry White ideal for managing insomnia, chronic pain, and inflammation.
Berry White is a cross between indica-dominant parents Blueberry and the hybrid White Widow. White Widow, developed by Green House Seeds, originates from the Netherlands and is one of the most popular strains in the world. White Widow was also the winner of the Cannabis Cup in 1995. The Blueberry strain is another highly sought-after strain and was created in the 1970s.
Berry White came about by accident; breeders at Green Beadz Seedz in Colorado were breeding this strain as an intermediary for mass-producing a different strain. They were surprised by the results of Berry White, which grew in popularity.
The distinctive blueberry flavor is because of terpenes also found in fruit-producing blueberry plants and Blueberry strains.
