Cooking with Cannabis: Delicious Edible Recipes for Every Occasion

The Art

At GreenHarvestShop, we're passionate about exploring the vast potential of cannabis in cooking. It allows you to infuse different dishes with the therapeutic benefits of marijuana. 

The Basics of Cooking with Cannabis

The key to success lies in how you integrate cannabis into your dishes: the right balance of flavor and potency. Cannabis-infused ingredients, e.g., cannabutter and cannabis coconut oil, are the foundation for most recipes.

Decarboxylation: Unlocking the Power of Cannabis

The first step in cooking with cannabis is decarboxylation, a process that activates the psychoactive and therapeutic compounds in marijuana. By gently heating cannabis, you convert non-active THCA and CBDA into the potent THC and CBD, ready to infuse into your meals. This process is essential for achieving the desired effects in your edibles.

The Versatility of Cannabis Coconut Oil

One of the most versatile ingredients in the cannabis culinary world is cannabis coconut oil. Its subtle cannabis flavor and high-fat content make it perfect for many recipes, e.g., baked goods and savory dishes. Cannabis coconut oil can easily replace regular cooking oils or butter in most recipes.

Creating cannabis coconut oil is straightforward and requires just a few simple steps. Begin with decarboxylated cannabis and combine it with coconut oil, gently heating the mixture to infuse the oil with cannabinoids. Once cooled, this potent oil can be used in virtually any recipe.
