Why cook with CBD?
CBD has many benefits on our body, especially in terms of relaxation and unwinding, whether physical or mental. Making recipes with CBD flowers allows you to enjoy the benefits of legal cannabis in various forms, while indulging yourself. Unlike space cakes, for example, with recipes made with CBD, there is no risk of a bad trip.
Before you start cooking, you should be aware of one thing: CBD is a fat-soluble substance. This means that it is more assimilated when it is associated with a fat. This is why we have chosen to teach you how to make Marrakech butter, which will serve as a base for many recipes, sweet or savory.
What flowers to choose?
There are flowers of CBD and flakes, also called of the trim. If you are already adept of the CBD, you can, without any concern, to realize butter of Marrakech by using flowers. If, on the contrary, you are novices, we advise you to use trim. Moreover, the butters made with flowers have a more pronounced taste, while those made with flakes of CBD are lighter and discreet in mouth. Finally, read carefully the descriptions of the tastes and flavors of each variety of CBD. Some are sweeter than others, more spicy, fruity, etc. You can have fun according to your tastes, your desires, but also your recipes. For example, if you want to prepare cookies for a gourmet snack to enjoy in front of a movie, the variety Caramel Kush is a good choice. Its sweet and caramelized tastes go very well with chocolate. Calculation of CBD content
When you make your cannabutter, it is important to know what will be its content of cannabidiol. Indeed, ingested, the CBD is not assimilated in the same way by the body, and the felt effects can thus be stronger and last longer.
To be sure to be able to consume your butter in all peace, and at any time of the day, here is a technique to calculate its content in CBD.To help us, we are going to take the example of a flower of CBD to 10%.
For 1 gram of flower, you have 100 mg of CBD. If you use a bag of 5g, you will have 500mg of CBD for a 250g butter plate. The CBD content of your Marrakech butter will then be 2%. As long as the content of CBD does not exceed 5%, the effect remains rather soft.
