What is in hookah flavor?

Hookah flavors (or shisha) come in many different varieties, from fruity to minty to chocolatey. But what exactly are hookah flavors made of? First, the main ingredient is tobacco leaf, followed by molasses and vegetable glycerin. Then, a food-grade flavoring is added to give shisha its distinctive aroma. The exact recipe for hookah flavors varies depending on the brand, but all contain these basic ingredients. Tobacco provides the classic hookah flavor that many people enjoy, while the molasses and glycerin help to create a smooth smoke. The addition of food-grade flavoring gives hookah its unique taste and smell. When choosing a hookah flavor, you can experiment with different brands and combinations to find the perfect taste for you.

Most hookah flavors are made with tobacco leaf, and therefore contain nicotine. The typical shisha tobacco nicotine content is about 0.05%. However, some flavors can also be in tobacco-free herbal molasses. These molasses still provide the sweet taste and thick smoke associated with hookah without the nicotine buzz. Herbal molasses are often made with fruit pulp and honey, and sometimes even includes spices like cardamom or cloves. Many non-tobacco hookah flavors are available commercially, or you can even make your own at home. Regardless of whether you choose tobacco or herbal shishas, enjoy your Hookah responsibly!

Hookah fans rejoice! Thanks to automation, hookah flavors are now more consistent than ever. At almost every point in the manufacturing process, machines are used to create the perfect flavor profile. The result is a product that is reliable and delicious.
