Cannabis is one of the most well-known herbs in the world and has many different uses. One of those uses is to make food products with marijuana. Cannabis recipes have been around for a while. Still, it’s only recently that state jurisdictions have begun passing laws allowing medical marijuana to be prescribed by a doctor and sold to consumers. Such laws have contributed to the growth of cannabis cooking because it gives people another way to use medical marijuana.
Cannabis can be used as an ingredient in many recipes and give food a unique taste and texture. It’s also said that cannabis makes food more “soulful.” Cooking with cannabis is a lot different than just adding it to a recipe. Today we’re going to show you how to use the herb as an ingredient in your favorite recipes, as well as teach you some new recipes that will blow your mind.
Basic Tips for Adding Cannabis to Recipes
Before we start with our recipes, here are a few tips for cooking with cannabis:
- Start slow! It’s easy to add too much and ruin the taste.
- Cannabis should be added towards the end of cooking or at least removed from heat before adding it if you don’t want it cooked.
- The herb can be ground up and used as-is, or you can soak it in water until it becomes soft and then use that.
- If using cannabis leaves, be sure to remove all stems and seeds from the herb before cooking with it.
Now that we’ve got those tips out of the way let’s get started!
