Moonrocks vs. Snowcaps: What’s the Difference?
Cannabis is getting more creative by the year, and two of the most in-demand premium flower formats are THCA Snowcaps and Moonrocks. They look frosty, they hit hard, and they’re often confused for each other — but they’re not the same.
With both products coming soon to Mitten Extracts, here’s your guide to what sets them apart, what they’re best for, and how to choose the right experience for your sesh.
What Are Snowcaps?

Which One Should You Try?
Still not sure? Here’s the quick cheat sheet:
Choose Snowcaps if you want…
