WHAT IT TELLS YOU
A flavor name answers “what sounds good?” Extract answers a different question: “what kind of cannabis product is this?” Keeping those labels separate makes YUM easier to compare.
FLAVOR GUIDE · PRODUCT VOCABULARY
What Is Cannabis Extract?
An extract is a concentrated cannabis product made by separating desired compounds from cannabis plant material. The word describes the product category—not its flavor or how you use it.
Use extract to understand the product category, then look at the flavor, format, and final label for the details that affect your choice.

HOW TO USE THE WORD
The useful distinction.
WHAT IT DOESN'T TELL YOU
Live resin is one type of extract. Vape cart and dab are formats. A product can be a live resin dab, but “dab” alone does not tell you the extract type.
HOW YUM USES IT
YUM starts with the sensory profile, then shows the method and approved product details. On a product page, read Format, Extract type, Package size, and any hardware or compatibility information together.
WHAT TO CHECK NEXT
If a field is not part of the approved product record, YUM leaves it out. For final ingredients, cannabinoid amounts, batch information, directions, and warnings, use the package label.
COMMON QUESTIONS
A clearer answer, when you need one.
Is extract the same as live resin?
No. Extract is the broader category; live resin is one extract type. YUM uses Live resin only on approved product records.
Does extract tell me what a product tastes like?
No. Flavor notes describe the sensory profile. Extract describes the product category, so read both when comparing YUM products.
