Cooking with CBD Oil Hemp Extracts

Cooking with CBD oil can be an enjoyable, safe, and realistic way to consume CBD, but learning how to do it properly can make all the difference in your final product.

In this post we will explore important considerations for cooking with CBD oil including the differences in types of CBD products on the market, the importance of pairing CBD with other nutritious ingredients, and important temperature considerations.

Hemp extract and CBD oil products have become so accessible that it’s become a mainstream health product with its most notable therapeutic value as an anti-inflammatory.

This, of course, makes it useful for managing a wide range of chronic health conditions where inflammation is the root cause.

There are other phytocannabinoids present in hemp and depending on the carrier oil used, you can also get other functional benefits.

So read the ingredient label and know what you’re getting, or enroll in a CBD education class to help you learn about proper dosing and application methods.

What Can CBD Do For Health?

So far, preliminary clinical and preclinical evidence suggests that CBD can help with a wide variety of conditions including, but not limited to, anxiety and depression, sleep disorders, epilepsy and seizure disorders, pain and inflammation.

It is believed that CBD can nourish the bodies own endocannabinoid system which is directly responsible for maintaining homeostasis, or balance, in the body. 

How CBD is Consumed Matters

The way CBD is consumed or applied to the body will make a difference in how bioavailable, or easily absorbed, the CBD is and how long the onset and duration time last.

Topical and sublingual (under the tongue) application of CBD will yield an approximate 30% bioavailability rate, an average onset rate of 15-60 minutes, and a typical duration of 2-4 hours.

Edible consumption of CBD in the form of food and drinks yields an approximate 6% bioavailability rate, has an average onset rate of 30-90+ minutes and a duration of 6-12 hours.

It is most important to remember that different application methods for using CBD will most definitely yield different experiences and results for each person.

Additionally, factors like body weight, health status, and more can affect the individual as well. 

CBD Loves Fat

CBD, like all cannabinoids, is lipophilic – meaning that they love fat. They are most easily and readily absorbed when paired with a fat such as olive oil.

It is important to pair CBD with a healthy diet for the best health outcomes, and olive oil is an excellent heart-healthy option to pair CBD with.

What Does CBD Taste Like?

Cannabis has a very distinct taste and flavor thanks to it’s unique terpene profile. Terpenes are the volatile organic compounds which give all plants their unique smells.

Terpenes can vary greatly from strain to strain, and how the CBD oil is extracted from the plant will also impact how the final product will taste. Cannabis is an acquired taste that can greatly enhance the overall flavor profile of any dish.
