Tips for Cooking with CBD

  1. Start with High-Quality CBD: The key to successfully cooking with CBD starts with selecting a high-quality product. Full-spectrum CBD oil, which contains other beneficial compounds like terpenes and cannabinoids, is often considered the best choice for cooking. This is because full-spectrum CBD provides what’s known as the "entourage effect," meaning that all the compounds work together to enhance each other’s effects. Look for CBD oils or tinctures made from organically grown hemp, with clear labeling about the concentration of CBD and third-party lab testing results. High-quality oils help ensure you’re getting the full range of benefits without harmful additives or contaminants.
  2. Mind the Dosage: When cooking with CBD, it’s important that you’re incorporating just the right amount to experience the benefits without overdoing it. Start with a low dose, especially if you’re new to using CBD, and gradually increase as you become more familiar with its effects. See our dosage recommendations below.
  • Avoid High Heat: CBD is a delicate compound, and cooking it at high temperatures can diminish its effectiveness. When exposed to temperatures above 320°F (160°C), CBD starts to break down, losing potency. To help preserve its benefits, avoid direct heat. Instead, add CBD oil to your recipes after cooking or use it in low-heat preparations like dressings, sauces, or smoothies.
  • Fat is Your Friend: CBD is fat-soluble, meaning it binds well to fats such as butter, oil, or ghee. When you combine CBD with fats, your body absorbs it more efficiently. This is why many CBD-infused recipes, such as baked goods or sauces, often use ingredients like coconut oil, olive oil, or butter. These fats can enhance CBD’s bioavailability, helping ensure that you’re getting the most out of every meal.
  • Experiment with Flavors: CBD oil has a natural, earthy flavor that can complement or clash with your dishes. Experiment with different flavor profiles to find combinations that work well. Citrus, mint, chocolate, and savory herbs like rosemary and thyme are known to pair nicely with CBD’s distinct taste.

How to Find High-Quality CBD

When it comes to incorporating CBD into your food, not all products are created equal. It’s important to choose high-quality CBD that is both safe and effective. Here are some key factors to consider when selecting the best CBD for your spooky creations:

  • Full-Spectrum vs. Isolate: Full-Spectrum CBD contains all the beneficial compounds found in the hemp plant, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and trace amounts of THC (less than 0.3%). This allows for the "Entourage Effect," where the compounds work together to enhance the benefits. If you want the full range of effects, Full-Spectrum is the way to go. For a pure CBD experience without THC, consider CBD Isolate.
  • Third-Party Lab Testing: Reputable CBD brands should provide lab reports from third-party testing facilities. These reports confirm the purity, potency, and safety of the product, helping ensure it’s free from harmful contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, and solvents. Always look for a brand that openly shares these lab results.
  • Sourcing and Extraction Methods: The best CBD products come from high-quality, organically-grown hemp. At lost range.®, we source our CBD from local, Colorado-grown hemp that is cultivated without harmful chemicals. Additionally, the extraction method matters—a CO2 extraction process, like the one we use, helps ensure that the CBD is pure and potent without leaving behind harmful residues.
  • Transparency and Ingredient Quality: A trustworthy CBD brand will always list its ingredients clearly. Look for products that contain simple, natural ingredients without unnecessary additives. At lost range.®, we keep our ingredients minimal and natural, helping ensure you're getting only the best.
