Cooking with CBD Oil: Tasty Treats with a Boost of CBD Wellness

Adding cannabidiol (CBD) to your meal prep is a relaxing way to enjoy everything the compound has to offer, but there are a few rules. Learn more about how to incorporate organic CBD oil to maintain its potential benefits and create the most delicious goodies.

Our Tips for Cooking with CBD

All oils degrade over time, but heat, oxygen, sunlight, and acids can be especially damaging for CBD and other cannabis oils. With that in mind, we have a few tips for making the most delicious, nutritious, and CBD-efficient meals.

1. Avoid combining with acidic foods

Some studies have found that acid-based substances can degrade the CBD compound along with exposure to the elements. When possible, stay away from cooking organic CBD oil with high-acid foods like fish, cheese, and citrus fruits.

2. The less heat, the better

Heat factors into the deterioration and weakening of the compound, so ditch frying or sauteing. That said, one study found that baking cannabinoids using regular boxed brownie mixes did not degrade the compounds. So, if you’re a lover of baked goods and CBD wellness, you’re in luck - CBD cookies are the perfect combo!

3. Add other healthy fats to the mix

The CBD molecule is fat-soluble, meaning that it dissolves in fats and oils. When you ingest CBD with one of those, it may be more effective than taking it alone. Incorporate another healthy oil like coconut, olive, or avocado oil into your meal - especially if you’re cooking with heat.

4. Experiment with your favorite recipes

Every chef has a go-to recipe - and organic CBD might be the enhancement you need to take your favorite meal to the next level. Experiment to find the perfect amount of CBD oil that gives you the effects and yummy flavor you want.

5. Be patient

Taking CBD sublingually, or under the tongue, lets the compound flow straight to your bloodstream. But with CBD cooking, it may take longer to take effect. The good news is, some Water-Soluble CBD products made with Nanotechnology like our Platinum-Series Broad-Spectrum NANO Water-Based Tinctures offer more efficient absorption.

Easy Additions

The quickest way to incorporate CBD wellness into your cooking is to use easy, simple recipes in foods like:

• Smoothies
• Sauces
• Baked Goods
• Drinks

You can even top your pasta with CBD oil or pop some in your morning coffee.
