A Simple Guide to Cooking with CBD

Welcome, food-loving friends, to a whole new dimension in the culinary universe—cooking with CBD. Yes, you heard it right! The wellness world's superstar has found its way to our kitchens, and it's stirring up some seriously tasty and healthy creations.

Today, we're putting on our aprons and digging into the heart of CBD cooking—what CBD oil is, expert tips on how to cook with it, and a few tips to start some of your own CBD-infused recipes. Boost almost any meal with the added benefits of CBD's anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and pain-relieving attributes.

What is CBD oil?

At its core, CBD oil is simply a concentrated, liquified version of CBD, harvested from hemp plants. Not only has it carved a niche in our culinary world, but the health benefits it brings to the table are also well-researched and continuously expanding. When cooking with it, remember, quality matters! We would recommend our more potent 2,000mg CBD Oil for cooking purposes.

Cooking with CBD: the dos and don'ts

Now, here's the thing—CBD oil is the guest star of your cooking show, not the main lead. Don't replace your usual cooking oil for CBD oil because it isn't built for that role. Treat it like a flavour enhancing herb or spice, or a garnish that adds a finishing touch to your culinary masterpiece. And hey, don't be afraid to play around and experiment!

However, it is important to know that CBD doesn't like too much heat. It prefers lower temperatures to maintain its potency. Here's how to keep CBD happy in your kitchen:

• Cool it down: Save the high heat for your regular oil. CBD prefers it low and slow to keep its potency intact. Frying or sautéing can cause it to break down, which we definitely don't want.
• Mix it up: CBD oil is a great addition to both your cool or warm dishes—think salad dressings, smoothies, sauces. Hot drinks like coffee or tea? Sure, just add it after brewing.
• Less is more: When it comes to CBD in cooking, start small. Even a modest dose can pack a punch. Stick with your regular dose and don't get too carried away at the start.

CBD in your glass

One of our favourite ways to enjoy CBD oil is by adding a few drops to a fruit smoothie. Adding it to a blend of fruits and berries can make your healthy beverage even healthier! And for those of you training your muscles in the gym, adding CBD to your protein shake might just be the perfect cool-down ritual your body needs.

Adding CBD oil to your cooking repertoire can elevate your favourite dishes to a new level. Whether it's dessert time with brownies and cookies or a delicious main course of chicken or lamb chops, CBD oil can add a new spin. So, don your chef's hat and let the culinary creativity flow—the possibilities are truly endless!
