You asked for orange peel. The Detroit jar smelled like lemon cleaner.

You almost bought it anyway because the menu said citrus.

Valencene on a Michigan cannabis Certificate of Analysis (COA) is a named plant-oil line, a terpene, usually sitting as Moderate or Trace under louder citrus oils. THC gets you high. Limonene is the lemon-cleaner snap. Valencene is the sweet Valencia-orange note you wanted and couldn't find on the sticker.

If you already read our what are terpenes guide, treat terpenes as the spices in the plant’s recipe. THC is the meal. Valencene is the sweet orange in the mix. This page is only that one line. For the whole table (percent vs mg/g, ND, LOQ, matching the Metrc tag) use reading a Michigan COA terpene panel. For the sharp lemon-zest oil everyone already chases, see limonene and citrus mood. Different molecule. Different nose.

What Does Valencene on a Michigan COA Actually Mean? #

Valencene on a Michigan COA means a licensed lab measured a sweet-orange plant oil in that lot and printed the name. It doesn't mean the flower will smell like Valencia fruit, and it doesn't mean Michigan required the test. Rank it Dominant, Strong, Moderate, or Trace. Don't hunt a magic percent.

A COA is the lab report for one batch. The Michigan CRA Scientific Section oversees the licensed safety compliance facilities that test legal product. Those labs issue the PDF you should match to the jar in your hand.

As of September 2026, Michigan does not require a terpene panel on the package or as a Metrc compliance field. Mich. Admin. Code R. 420.504 lists what the sealed pack must show: THC and CBD numbers, lab identity, Metrc package tag, warnings. Terpene names aren't on that must-list. Valencene isn't on it either.

Mich. Admin. Code R. 420.305 says a lab may run terpene analysis by an approved method. “May” isn't “must.” The CRA Sampling and Testing Technical Guidance even uses terpenes as the example of results that can show on a COA but not in Metrc, because they are testing “not required by the agency.”

So if valencene is on the PDF, someone paid for an extra page. If it's missing, the jar can still be legal and clean. The sticker never owed you that word.

What you see What it means What it does not mean
The word valencene on the terpene table The lab’s method listed that oil for this lot That the oil runs your high
Rank Dominant or Strong It is loud in the list A promise about orange peel or mood
Rank Moderate or Trace It is a supporting note That the jar “has no terps”
No terpene page at all Michigan did not require one That the flower failed a safety test

Divine Toke is a Detroit-area Michigan sun-grown organic cannabis farm. We don't print a house valencene percent for our flower. Batch-to-batch swing is the rule. Shop the PDF in your hand.

What Is Valencene and How Does It Smell? #

Valencene is a heavier plant oil, a sesquiterpene hydrocarbon, that smells like sweet orange, Valencia peel, and sometimes a little grapefruit wood. It doesn't get you high by itself. People open a Michigan jar and say juicy orange. They don't say lemon dish soap. If they do say lemon soap, they're usually smelling limonene.

PubChem lists valencene as C15H24, CID 9855795. Fifteen carbons. Same broad terpene family as beta-caryophyllene. Different shape from the ten-carbon citrus everyone already knows. PMC9775512 calls that Valencia-orange aroma in plain words in its secondary-terpene review.

What to remember:

  • Chemical family: Sesquiterpene hydrocarbon. A heavier oil built from fifteen carbons. It evaporates slower than light citrus oils like limonene.
  • Smell cue: Sweet orange, Valencia peel, a soft grapefruit-wood edge. Not lemon candy. Not pine cleaner.
  • Cannabis role: Usually a supporting line. Many Michigan PDFs never print it. When they do, it's often Moderate or Trace under limonene or myrcene.
  • Menu nickname: Menus love “uplifting orange terpene.” That's a shopping nickname, not a medical claim.

You don't need a chemistry class. If a sealed Michigan jar smells like sweet orange flesh, not lemon zest, valencene is a fair guess. Confirm the paper. Guessing isn't shopping.

Valencene is a real word that almost never makes the menu board. Limonene gets the citrus nickname. Valencene gets a blank look. That's why this page exists. The oil was in the plant before the sticker was printed. The PDF is just the first time most Detroit shoppers meet the name.

The fruit story is older than the COA. Yu et al. 2019 (PMC6417135) call valencene a major sesquiterpene in citrus oil, made by valencene synthase from a fifteen-carbon building block named farnesyl diphosphate. Bai et al. 2016 (PMC5224568) found that same oil as the dominant sesquiterpene hydrocarbon in Valencia orange peel oil and juice oil. That's fruit chemistry. Your jar's rank is a separate question.

A Sesquiterpene, Not Limonene and Not THC #

Valencene is a fifteen-carbon hydrocarbon oil. Limonene is a ten-carbon hydrocarbon oil. THC is a cannabinoid. Those three jobs aren't the same.

Labs and menus mash the names under one word: citrus. That mix-up wastes a trip after work in Detroit.

Name on a sheet What it actually is Shopper takeaway
Valencene Sesquiterpene oil (C15H24) The sweet orange line this guide is about
Limonene / d-limonene A different C10H16 terpene Lemon-zest / cleaner snap; see the limonene guide
THC Cannabinoid The main intoxicating compound
Nootkatone A related grapefruit flavor compound Not printed on most Michigan flower panels

Same “citrus” nickname doesn't mean same smell. PubChem lists (+)-limonene as C10H16, CID 440917. Smaller molecule. Sharper top note. Valencene is the rounder orange body note.

The plant makes valencene for the plant, not for your Sunday. Citrus uses a synthase gene. Cannabis has its own synthase story. A 2017 terpene-synthase paper (PMC5371325) showed a Finola enzyme, CsTPS8FN, could make valencene next to γ-eudesmol in a dish. Enzyme product share isn't a COA percent. Don't copy the dish numbers onto a Detroit lid.

How Is Valencene Different From Limonene? #

Valencene is the sweet Valencia-orange oil. Limonene is the bright lemon-zest oil. They are different molecules, and limonene is the one Michigan menus shout. If you like orange peel more than lemon cleaner, you're shopping valencene's lane. You still have to prove it on the PDF.

That's the split. Our limonene guide already owns mood, d-limonene, and the lemon-forward story. This page is the other citrus. Don't mash them.

Factor Valencene Limonene
Carbon count 15 (sesquiterpene) 10 (monoterpene)
PubChem lock CID 9855795 CID 440917
First-hit smell Sweet orange, Valencia peel, soft grapefruit wood Lemon zest, lime, cleaner snap
How often it leads a Michigan panel Rare. Often Moderate, Trace, or missing Common. Often Dominant or Strong
Menu nickname “Orange / Tangie-type” (hedge it) “Citrus / uplifting” (hedge it)
Volatility Heavier. Slower to flash off Lighter. Hits the nose first

Why limonene wins the board:

  1. It's louder on first crack. Smaller oil. Faster into the air. Your nose votes lemon before it votes orange.
  2. Labs list it more. A short terpene method almost always includes limonene. Valencene is the extra row.
  3. Menus already trained you. “Citrus” became a synonym for limonene. That training is the trap.

PMC7923270 puts limonene in the most-common cannabis terpene set. Valencene sits in the “other common” sesquiterpenoid list. Common in the literature isn't Dominant on your lot.

Shopper rules that save money after a Detroit shift:

  • Lemon cleaner on the lid, limonene on the PDF. You got the sharp citrus. That can still be a good jar. It isn't the sweet-orange jar you asked for.
  • Sweet orange on the lid, limonene Dominant, valencene Trace. The loud oil is still limonene. Valencene is a whisper. Say that out loud before you pay.
  • Sweet orange on the lid, valencene Strong or Dominant. Rare. Worth the extra sniff. Still not a mood pill.
  • Citrus on the menu, no terpene page. You're guessing. R. 420.504 never owed you the word.

Orange oil in a Michigan kitchen is a blend. Terpenes beyond cannabis already uses hops, pine, and citrus as teaching tools. Cannabis citrus is a blend too. One fruit smell isn't one line on a COA.

Why Can a Jar Smell Like Orange With No Valencene Line? #

A sweet-orange lid doesn't prove a valencene-dominant lot. Limonene, terpinolene, and the rest of the blend can fake the fruit. Open the terpene table before you pay.

This is the mistake that burns a Friday night in Detroit. You smell orange. You hear “Valencia.” You skip the table.

Why the nose lies:

  • Limonene can smell orange too. Not only lemon. High limonene lots read as peel, zest, or even candy orange. You're still smelling the ten-carbon oil.
  • Terpinolene stacks citrus on floral pine. Our terpinolene guide is the Jack-type / haze-type story. A citrus top note there isn't valencene.
  • The fruit itself is a blend. PMC5224568 measured Valencia orange juice across a harvest season. Valencene sat in peel oil and juice oil next to esters, aldehydes, and other terpenes. The orange you eat is a mix. The plant didn't send one oil to your jar.
  • Citrus genes are not cannabis genes. PMC6417135 showed some mandarin hybrids lose juice valencene when the synthase promoter is broken. Flower doesn't inherit that fruit switch. A Michigan COA can print ND even when the lid reminds you of a clementine.

Nootkatone is the grapefruit cousin. Flavor chemists oxidize valencene to make it. Most Michigan flower panels never print nootkatone. If a budtender says “this is the grapefruit one,” ask which named line they mean. Don't invent the word on the PDF.

Lid story Likely loud oil What to do
Lemon cleaner, sharp zest Limonene Read the limonene guide. Don't hunt valencene first.
Sweet orange flesh, soft peel Valencene or orange-leaning limonene Hunt both rows. Rank both.
Citrus + lilac + pine at once Terpinolene Confirm that line before you say orange.
Mango musk with a citrus edge Myrcene plus a citrus neighbor See the myrcene guide.

A 2022 secondary-terpene review (PMC9775512) even cites orange-oil work on whether valencene itself drives orange aroma quality. Flavor chemists still argue about how much of the orange you smell is this one oil. If orange-oil chemists hedge, a cannabis menu should hedge harder.

So the rule is boring and it works: smell first. Then find the word. If the word is missing, you smelled a blend. You didn't catch the store in a lie. You caught the limits of a nose.

What Did the Plant Studies Actually Measure? #

The papers measure citrus genes, cannabis enzymes, rats, and lab dishes. They don't measure your commute home from a Detroit shift. Valencene is a real volatile. That doesn't make it a wellness pill.

Start with the plant. That's the part the papers actually hold.

Yu et al. 2019 (PMC6417135) tracked why some mandarin hybrids make almost no juice valencene. The enzyme, valencene synthase, builds the oil from farnesyl diphosphate. A short deletion in the gene’s promoter shut the juice oil down. That paper is about fruit breeding, not a shopping tip.

Booth and colleagues (PMC5371325) cloned cannabis terpene synthases from Finola. One enzyme, CsTPS8FN, made valencene next to γ-eudesmol in a test tube. That proves the plant can make the oil. It doesn't prove your lot did.

Chacon et al. 2022 (PMC9775512) put valencene in the secondary terpene chapter. Secondary here means lower on a by-mass basis, not “unimportant.” The same review is where they note the Valencia-orange smell. Use that chapter to see where the name sits in the papers. Don't use it as a dose chart.

What the wellness headlines leave out:

Evidence type Example Shopper use
Citrus genetics PMC6417135 synthase promoter Explains the fruit name
Cannabis enzyme work PMC5371325 CsTPS8FN Confirms the plant can make the oil
Inventory / review PMC9775512, PMC7923270 Confirms the name belongs on some COAs
Rat heart model PMID 35469837 Not a reason to buy a jar
Joint / swelling dishes and animals PMID 37536183, PMID 36076580 Early research. Not a pain protocol
Skin / pigment cells PMID 26967731 Dish work. Not a face cream
Bacteria pumps PMC10609713 Not an infection claim
Human trials of isolated valencene None we can stand on Hedge every energy / calm story

The rat paper is the one menus stretch. Prince et al. (PMID 35469837) gave valencene to rats after a chemical heart-stress model. They measured swelling signals, heart-muscle strain, and infarct size. That's a pharmacology study, not “orange terps protect your heart.”

The joint paper is the same class of stretch. PMID 37536183 looked at cartilage and oxidative stress in osteoarthritis models. Cells and animals. If you work a trade in Metro Detroit, you deserve that hedge in the same sentence as the citation.

FEMA lists valencene as flavor number 3443. Flavor-ingredient listing means food chemists already use the name. It doesn't mean smoking a Strong valencene lot is a food-safety study. Different job, different dose, different route.

Early research is allowed to be early. The shrug on the COA is still the right first move. Read the neighbors on the same page before you write a story about one oil.

How Do You Spot Valencene on a Michigan COA? #

Find the terpene table, hunt the word valencene, then rank it Dominant, Strong, Moderate, or Trace. Don't hunt a copied percent from a blog. Don't treat the sealed Michigan sticker as the panel.

Match three IDs before you care about the oil:

  1. Metrc package tag on the jar and the PDF
  2. Lab name that Michigan licensed
  3. Lot / batch that is this week’s stock, not last month’s reprint

Start at the Michigan CRA page. Safety tests (pesticides, metals, microbials, potency) are the required lane. Terpenes are the bonus page. Our what lab tested means in Michigan post covers the required tests. This page only teaches the valencene row.

In metro Detroit the adult-use sticker will show THC. It won't show valencene. That's R. 420.504, not a rude budtender. Medical vs adult-use changes tax and limits. It doesn't change how a terpene table works.

Dominant, Strong, Moderate, Trace #

Read rank, not a decimal we invented. Harvest-to-harvest swing is normal. Printing “0.2% valencene on Divine Toke flower” would be a lie the next week.

Use this shopper scale on whatever units the lab printed (% or mg/g):

Rank What it means on the page What you do
Dominant Highest named terpene, or tied at the top This lot is valencene-forward. Rare. Worth a nose check
Strong Clearly in the top three, not a rounding error Worth hunting if you want that sweet orange stack
Moderate Present, supporting Smell may still show; don't expect it to lead
Trace / ND / below LOQ Tiny or not quantified Don't buy this jar for the valencene story

Also scan the neighbors. If limonene is Dominant and valencene is Trace, you bought a lemon-zest night with an orange whisper. If myrcene is Dominant and valencene is Moderate, you may get mango musk plus sweet peel. Still not a citrus pill.

A made-up header, so you know what match looks like. This is not a Divine Toke COA:

Lot ID matches the jar. Total terpenes listed. Top three: limonene (Dominant), myrcene (Strong), valencene (Moderate). Pinene Trace.

Type that note in your phone if it helps. It isn't next harvest's promise.

NIST CannaQAP exists because lab-to-lab terpene lists don't line up. Don't fight a friend over 0.04% valencene from two different Michigan labs. Fight over whether the lot IDs match the jar.

What If Valencene Is Missing or ND? #

Missing can mean the lab didn't run that analyte, or the peak sat under the limit of quantification. It doesn't automatically mean the plant made zero oil.

Michigan’s optional panel is short or long depending on the facility. One lab reports 10 terpenes. Another reports 20. NIST built CannaQAP because those lists don't line up. A short list with no valencene row isn't a failed test.

A 2020 terpene-variation paper (PMC7479917) even shows valencene as not detected in some cultivars and low when it shows. Literature “n.d.” is the same shrug you get at a counter. Rare is normal.

Ask, in this order:

  1. “Do you have the terpene page for this package tag.”
  2. “Is valencene on your lab’s list, or was it never run.”
  3. “If terpenes were not run, let me smell a display of the same lot.”

Three nos means you're nose-shopping. That's legal. It's just weaker. Our shop by terpene panel guide has the longer budtender script.

Valencene vs Limonene vs Other Citrus Notes #

Valencene is the sweet orange supporting note. Limonene is lemon zest. Terpinolene is floral-pine-citrus. Myrcene is mango musk. If you mix those four, you buy the wrong jar after a long shift.

Two of those are light monoterpenes. Valencene is the heavier citrus. Your nose and the rank still split them.

Oil Typical smell Common shopper story Sibling post
Valencene Sweet orange, Valencia peel, soft grapefruit wood “Orange / uplifting” (hedge it) This page
Limonene Lemon or orange zest, cleaner snap Mood lift Limonene guide
Terpinolene Floral + pine + citrus + herb Jack-type / haze-type hybrid Terpinolene guide
Myrcene Earthy mango, musk Sleepy / couch Myrcene guide

How people get it wrong:

  • Orange on the lid, limonene on the PDF. Limonene is still the loud citrus. Valencene is the sweet edge next to it, if it's even there.
  • Citrus-floral stack, terpinolene Dominant. Valencene in the top three doesn't steal that stack. Confirm both lines.
  • Lemon cleaner smell. That's usually limonene. Valencene is rounder and less zest.
  • Kitchen orange oil equals this jar. Terpenes beyond cannabis is the food-and-forest lesson. This page is one COA row.

A quick sniff drill at a Michigan counter:

  1. Crack the lid. First hit lemon-cleaner or sharp zest? Look for limonene first.
  2. First hit sweet orange flesh and soft peel? Hunt valencene, then still check limonene.
  3. First hit lilac-pine-orange at once? Look for terpinolene.
  4. First hit mango-heavy with a citrus wink? Look for myrcene, then the citrus neighbor.

Then open the COA. Nose first. Paper second. Our terpenes nose-shopping guide is the longer version of that drill.

The sweet orange can hang around longer than the lemon snap. Maybe. A 2024 storage paper (PMC11013627) found sesquiterpenes less prone to drop than monoterpenes over months. The paper is talking about the family, not a timer for this one oil. PMC7819294 is blunt about the everyday leak: terpenes are volatile, and opening and closing the container lets the headspace oil leave. That's your kitchen counter in a Detroit apartment with the heat on.

Michigan adds weather. Late-summer Great Lakes humidity fights a dry cure. A winter radiator cooks a thin lid. Neither one is a lab percent. Both can flatten a sweet orange top note before the THC number on the sticker budges.

Habit Why it matters for citrus oils Better move
Jar open on the table Headspace leaves Lid on. Smell, then close
Ground flower in a bag More surface, faster loss Keep it whole until you pack
Radiator shelf in January Heat cooks the light notes first Cool cupboard, not the vent
Last summer’s eighth Time plus air Shop a fresher lot if the nose is dead

How Should You Shop a Sweet Citrus Jar in Michigan? #

Ask for the terpene page, rank valencene against limonene, then smell the same Metrc tag. Buy flower, a 1g pre-roll, or a 20-pack by lot. Don't buy a nickname.

You like orange peel more than lemon cleaner. Fine. Say that at the counter. Then do the paper work. Our shop by terpene panel guide is the longer walkthrough. This is the short script for this one oil.

Counter script that fits a Detroit lunch break:

  1. “I want sweet orange, not lemon cleaner. Hand me the terpene page for this tag.”
  2. “Point to valencene. Tell me Dominant, Strong, Moderate, or Trace.”
  3. “What is louder, valencene or limonene.”
  4. “Let me smell a display of the same lot.”

If they only have a menu word like Tangie or “orange cookies,” smile and ask again for the PDF. Strain folklore isn't a lab result. Those names stay off our house list.

Shop the formats that actually exist at Divine Toke: flower, a 1g pre-roll, or the 20-pack (20 × 1g at $120). There's no valencene SKU on the shelf. Blueberry Mojito, Honey Bananas, and L.A. Sunshine are the house names. Their panels change by lot. If you want this sweet citrus note, you still open the PDF for the bag in your hand.

You want What to check Walk if
Sweet orange, soft peel Valencene Strong or Dominant, limonene not drowning it Valencene Trace and the lid smells like soap
Bright lemon snap Limonene Dominant; see the limonene guide You asked for orange and got cleaner
A night that won't flatten you Full panel + dose, not one citrus line A budtender sells “valencene energy”
Something legal and clean Required safety tests on the COA They only flash a terpene graphic

Adult-use purchase and possession limits still sit on the Michigan CRA rules, not on this oil. The 24% wholesale tax hits the price before you ever see a terpene row. None of that prints valencene on the can.

Dose, the rest of the panel, sleep, and how hard you hit the joint still run the night. One sweet-orange line can't flip a heavy myrcene stack into a daytime jar. One missing line can't prove the flower is dead. Rank the neighbors. Then go home.

Mistakes that cost people a second trip:

  • Paying for “citrus” after a lemon-cleaner lid. You bought limonene’s night. Say so. Or put it back.
  • Treating a Tangie-type name as a valencene rank. House names on this site stay Blueberry Mojito, Honey Bananas, and L.A. Sunshine. Even those swing by harvest.
  • Skipping the Metrc match. A pretty terpene graphic from last month isn't this week’s jar.
  • Reading Trace as “no terps.” Trace means the lab saw a whisper. It doesn't mean the flower is empty.
  • Using this oil as a work note. Michigan shift workers still have to get home. Sweet peel isn't a safety plan.

If you want the longer nose class, use terpenes nose-shopping. If you want the whole table decoded, stay on reading a Michigan COA. This page stays on one word: valencene.

Frequently Asked Questions #

What does valencene on a Michigan cannabis COA mean? #

It means a licensed lab printed a sweet-orange plant oil for that lot. It isn't THC, and it isn't a required safety field. Rank the line Dominant, Strong, Moderate, or Trace, then smell the same Metrc tag. R. 420.305 lets a lab run terpenes. It doesn't force the word onto every jar.

How is valencene different from limonene? #

Valencene is a fifteen-carbon sesquiterpene that smells like sweet Valencia orange. Limonene is a ten-carbon monoterpene that usually smells like lemon zest or cleaner. PubChem lists valencene as C15H24, CID 9855795 and (+)-limonene as C10H16, CID 440917. Limonene is the loud menu citrus. Valencene is the quieter orange. Don't shop them as one oil.

Does valencene get you high? #

No. Valencene is a terpene. It doesn't intoxicate you the way THC does. It can shape smell and may nudge how a batch feels next to cannabinoids. There is no good human trial of isolated valencene for mood or energy. If a Detroit budtender says the orange line will get you lifted, ask for the THC number and the rest of the panel.

What does valencene smell like? #

Sweet orange, Valencia peel, and sometimes a soft grapefruit-wood edge. PMC9775512 ties that aroma to Valencia oranges. If the lid smells like lemon dish soap, you're probably in limonene territory. Confirm the PDF. Your nose guesses. The lab names the oil.

Is valencene energizing or calming? #

Neither is proven in people. Menus say “uplifting orange.” Papers measure rats, cells, and fruit genes. PMID 35469837 is a rat heart model, not a daytime warranty. Your dose, sleep, and the louder oils still run the night. Hedge the nickname.

Does Michigan require valencene on the label? #

No. Michigan does not require a terpene panel at all for general flower. R. 420.305 says a lab may run terpenes. R. 420.504 does not put valencene on the sealed pack. A missing valencene row isn't a failed safety test.

How do I find valencene on a COA? #

Match the Metrc tag, open the terpene table, and search the word valencene. Then rank the line. The CRA Scientific Section oversees the labs that issue those PDFs. CRA sampling guidance calls terpenes an example of testing “not required by the agency.” No table means you can't shop this oil by number.

Does orange-peel smell mean the jar is valencene-dominant? #

No. Orange on the lid can be limonene, terpinolene, a blend, or a quiet valencene line. PMC5224568 shows Valencia orange fruit itself is a mix of many volatiles. Cannabis is the same idea. Hunt both citrus rows before you pay.

Does Divine Toke sell a valencene strain? #

No. We don't sell a house SKU named for this terpene. Shop sun-grown flower or 1g pre-rolls lot by lot. A 20-pack is 20 × 1g at $120. Allowed strain names on this site stay Blueberry Mojito, Honey Bananas, and L.A. Sunshine, and even those aren't “valencene cultivars.” Read the COA that matches the tag.

Why is valencene missing from some Michigan PDFs? #

Either the lab didn't run terpenes, the amount sat under the reporting floor, or this lot isn't a sweet-orange supporting batch. NIST CannaQAP exists because panels don't match lab to lab. CRA guidance is explicit that terpenes can be on a COA and still not be a required Metrc field. Missing isn't a fail. You just don't have the spice list.

Does valencene last longer in the jar than limonene? #

It can, because valencene is a heavier sesquiterpene and limonene is a lighter monoterpene. That's class behavior, not a timer. PMC11013627 saw sesquiterpenes hold up better than monoterpenes in storage work. PMC7819294 still shows headspace loss when you keep cracking the lid. A Detroit radiator will flatten either nose if you park the jar on it.

Is valencene the same as nootkatone? #

No. Nootkatone is a related grapefruit flavor compound. Valencene is one of the oils chemists start from. Most Michigan flower COAs never print nootkatone. If you want the sweet orange line, hunt valencene. If a menu says grapefruit, ask which named terpene they measured. Don't invent the cousin on the PDF.

Want to Smell Before You Buy? #

If you are curious to try sun-grown flower from Divine Toke, a Detroit-area Michigan farm, start with flower, a 1g pre-roll, or the 20-pack (20 × 1g at $120) at the shop. Ask for that lot’s terpene page. We don't pretend our jars always print valencene. When they do, treat it like any other spice on the list.
