How we scored it
Dried, ground plant tissue (n = 1) with no chemical modification; no reagent or solvent mass in the product. 1.0 / 1.0 = 1.00.
What counts. ISO 16128-2 scores the atoms that remain in the final ingredient. Reagents, solvents, catalysts and protecting groups used during manufacture leave no mass behind and are not counted.
Where it comes from
