Terpenes and terpenoids are ubiquitous, found not just in plants but in almost all organisms. They constitute essential oils, oleoresins, cannabinoids, cell membrane structural components, steroids, and an enormous range of other important biological molecules. So how do you find the best sources of the ones you're interested in?

​

This database may serve as a guide, with the plants that contain very high proportions of each terpene listed on the page for that terpene. Many terpenes can be derived from dietary sources and essential oils, although can often be difficult to obtain in high concentrations this way.
