Badder vs sugar vs diamonds
Same extract, different texture. How the oil is whipped, left to sit or separated decides what ends up in the jar.
Badder, sugar and diamonds are mostly about consistency, not a different plant.
Why concentrates come in textures
Most dab concentrates start as a solvent extract of the plant. What happens after extraction sets the texture. Whipping, heat, time and pressure push the oil toward a creamy, grainy or crystal form.
Badder (also spelled batter or budder) is whipped while it purges, which gives it a soft, frosting like texture that is easy to scoop. Sugar is left to separate so it turns grainy and wet, like damp sugar. Diamonds are THCA crystals that form when the extract sits; they are usually sold with the terpene rich sauce they grew in.
"Live" on the label means the plant was frozen fresh at harvest instead of dried and cured, which keeps more of the original aroma.
