Kosher Sorbet: The Holy Dessert
Kosher Sorbet: The Holy Dessert
Strain Overview
Type: Indica-Dominant Hybrid (80% Indica / 20% Sativa)
Breeder: DNA Genetics (Sorbet Collection)
Lineage: Kosher Kush x Sorbet
Market Status: The "Tasty Knockout"; Kosher Kush is arguably the most decorated Indica of the modern era (winning High Times Cups back-to-back). By crossing this heavy-hitting legend with their proprietary Sorbet line, DNA Genetics created Kosher Sorbet. It takes the crushing, sleep-inducing power of the Kosher and dips it in sugar and cream. It is high-potency medicine that tastes like a gourmet treat.
THC Content: 20% – 25% (Heavy & Sedative)
Dominant Terpenes: Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool
Key Effects: Deep Physical Sedation, Euphoric Relaxation, Munchies, "Happy" Sleep
Kosher Kush is famous for being the first strain blessed by a Rabbi and for smelling like a damp basement full of pine needles (in the best way possible). But for some, that intense "earth and gas" funk is a bit much. Enter Kosher Sorbet.
Part of the Sorbet Collection by DNA Genetics, this strain was designed to make the legendary power of Kosher Kush more palatable and fun to grow. It softens the aggressive earthiness of the mother with the creamy, fruity notes of the Sorbet father. The result is a plant that hits you with the force of a freight train but leaves a sweet, creamy aftertaste that keeps you coming back for another hit—until you fall asleep.
History and Lineage: The Blessed Union
This breeding project was about refining a champion.
The Mother (Kosher Kush): The heavy-weight champion of the Indica world. Known for its staggering potency, earthy/pine/diesel aroma, and ability to cure insomnia instantly. It provides the density, the power, and the medicinal effects.
The Father (Sorbet): DNA Genetics’ "texture" specialist. The Sorbet line is famous for its creamy, berry-like smoothness and robust growth structure. It provides the flavor complexity and the structural vigor.
The Synthesis: Kosher Sorbet is the "Dessert Version" of Kosher Kush. It retains the award-winning potency but replaces the dank musk with a sweeter, creamier profile. It also yields better than the original Kosher, thanks to the Sorbet's vigorous genetics.
Terpene Profile: Earth, Cream, and Gas
This is a complex profile that evolves as you smoke it. It starts sweet and ends heavy.
Dominant Terpenes
Myrcene (The Sedative): The dominant force. It provides the musky, earthy base and is responsible for the heavy "couch-lock" effect.
Limonene (The Sweetness): Inherited from the Sorbet, but it presents here as sugared lemon peel rather than sour cleaner.
Caryophyllene (The Gas): Adds a spicy diesel kick on the exhale that reminds you of its Kosher lineage.
Linalool (The Cream): Provides a smooth, floral finish that rounds out the smoke.
Flavor Notes:
The Aroma: It is loud. It smells of damp earth, pine, sweet berries, and creamy yogurt.
The Smoke: Surprisingly smooth for such a potent Indica. It tastes of sweet earth, creamy fruit, and spicy kush. It lacks the throat-grabbing harshness of pure OG strains.
Strain Effects: The Holy Slumber
Kosher Sorbet is a night-time strain. Do not make plans after smoking this.
The Experience
The Euphoria: The high starts with a wave of happiness. The Sorbet genetics add a layer of giggly euphoria that the serious Kosher Kush sometimes lacks.
The Weight: Very quickly, the physical effects take over. Your limbs feel heavy, your eyelids droop, and tension melts out of your shoulders.
The Hunger: It is a massive appetite stimulant. The "munchies" are almost guaranteed.
The Sleep: As the high wears off, it transitions seamlessly into deep, restful sleep. It is one of the best strains for battling insomnia.
Best For: Insomnia, chronic pain, appetite loss, stress relief, and watching movies before bed.
Growing Kosher Sorbet: The Heavy Yielder
Growers love this strain because it takes the finicky nature of OG Kush and fixes it.
Growth Structure
The Size: It grows Medium to Tall. The Sorbet genetics add some height and vigor, so it grows faster than the original Kosher.
The Yield: High. It is a heavy producer. The buds are large, dense, and rock-hard.
The Difficulty: It is surprisingly easy to grow. It eats heavily (likes high nutrients) and is forgiving of minor mistakes.
The Finish: It finishes flowering in 9 weeks.
The Smell: It reeks. Carbon filters are mandatory. In late flower, the smell of dank earth and rotting fruit can fill a house.
Grower’s Tip: This strain responds very well to LST (Low Stress Training). Open up the canopy to let light hit the lower buds, and they will swell up just as big as the top colas. It is also a great candidate for Sea of Green (SOG) due to its main-cola dominance.
Final Verdict: The Delicious Knockout
Kosher Sorbet is the perfect evolution of a classic. It keeps the "world-beating" potency of Kosher Kush—that deep, medicinal, sleep-inducing stone—but wraps it in a flavor profile that is sweet, creamy, and modern. It is easier to grow, tastes better, and hits just as hard. If you want to sleep like a baby but want your medicine to taste like dessert, this is the holy grail.
You should choose Kosher Sorbet if:
You love Kosher Kush but want a better taste.
You suffer from Insomnia or Pain.
You want a High Yielding Indica.
You enjoy Sweet/Earthy/Creamy flavors.
