Egg Roll strain guide
Egg Roll is an indica-leaning hybrid usually listed as a cross of Chemdawg and Biscotti. It's known for an unusual smell, sweet plum with black pepper, and for being strong: listings put it in the high 20s for THC. Most people describe a calm, heavy feel.
Where does Egg Roll come from?
The cross given for Egg Roll is Chemdawg and Biscotti, a sharp, gassy classic paired with a sweet, spicy strain from the Cookies family. It's usually described as about 70% indica and 30% sativa.
That lineage isn't rock solid, though. One strain database marks the Biscotti side as probable rather than confirmed, and the breeder is listed as unknown. The name is generally put down to its long, rolled-looking buds.
What does Egg Roll smell and taste like?
Egg Roll smells sweet and fruity first, close to ripe plum, with spicy black pepper and a savoury, sage-like note behind it. Some people also pick up skunk, chemical or diesel smells, which fits its Chemdawg side. The flavour is usually earthy with some sweetness and a peppery finish.
We couldn't find a published terpene breakdown for Egg Roll, so we're not listing one. One reviewer's product mentioned nerolidol, but a single batch isn't enough to call it typical.
Egg Roll effects: what people report
People most often describe Egg Roll as relaxed and tingly, with a happy, giggly lift up front and a heavy body feel as it settles. Some also call it talkative or focused, and a few say it made them hungry. Most save it for later in the day.
These are experiences people report, not promises. Reviewers call it a heavy hitter, which not everyone enjoys. Dry mouth, dry eyes and headaches come up, and one reviewer mentioned feeling anxious.
How strong is Egg Roll?
Egg Roll is a very high-THC strain. Strain listings put it at about 28% to 29% THC, and at least one reviewer's pre-roll was labelled just under 30%. CBD is low.
If you're new to it, start with a small amount and wait before having more. Check the label on your product, since numbers vary by batch. Our guide to THCA vs THC explains why labels often show two figures.
Buying Egg Roll in Canada
Don't mix up Egg Roll with Egg Roll Grape Gas or other crosses that borrow the name. Those are separate plants and much less documented.
You'll most likely find Egg Roll as dried flower or pre-rolls. Look at the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of the plum and pepper smell.
Egg Roll vs Biscotti
Biscotti is usually named as one of Egg Roll's parents. Biscotti smells like a sweet cookie with a spicy, gassy edge, while Egg Roll swaps the cookie for plum and leans harder into pepper and chemical notes from Chemdawg. Both are indica-leaning and relaxing, but Egg Roll is usually listed several points higher in THC and is more often called heavy. If you like dessert smells, start with Biscotti. If you want something stronger and more savoury, try Egg Roll.
