Happy World Food Day!
At lost range.®, we believe food isn’t just about filling your stomach; it’s about nourishing your body, mind, and soul.
This year, we’re celebrating by exploring the delicious possibilities of cooking with CBD, a natural way to elevate your meals with wellness benefits.
Whether you’re a culinary novice or a seasoned home chef, CBD can be a flavorful and functional addition to your kitchen.
What is CBD?
CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a compound derived from the hemp plant. Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it won’t get you “high.” Instead, it interacts with your body’s endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate stress, sleep, inflammation, and overall wellness.
At lost range.®, our Full-Spectrum CBD products, like our tinctures and whipped honey, include a rich profile of cannabinoids, terpenes, fatty acids, and proteins to promote the entourage effect, giving your body a balanced wellness boost.
Tips for Cooking with CBD
Cooking with CBD is easy, but keeping these tips in mind ensures your dishes stay flavorful and potent:
- Mind the Heat: CBD begins to degrade at temperatures above 320°F (160°C). To preserve its benefits, cook at low to medium heat, or add CBD after cooking; perfect for drizzling tincture over soups, smoothies, or baked goods once they’ve cooled slightly.
- Start Small: Everyone’s CBD tolerance is different. Begin with 1 dropper per serving and gradually adjust based on your desired effects. Too much can be overwhelming and alter the flavor of your dish.
- Pair with Fats: CBD is fat-soluble, meaning it absorbs best with oils, butter, or dairy. Recipes using olive oil, coconut oil, or cream-based sauces are perfect for maximizing benefits.
- Enhance Flavors: CBD has a subtle, earthy taste. Pair it with complementary flavors like chocolate, honey, citrus, herbs, or spices to enhance your dish without overpowering it.
- Measure Precisely: When adding tinctures or CBD honey, use a dropper or precise measuring spoon to ensure consistent dosing in each serving.
- Mix Well: Make sure your CBD is evenly distributed throughout your dish, especially in baked goods, so every bite offers the same wellness benefits.
- Storage Matters: Store CBD-infused foods in a cool, dark place to preserve potency. For a longer shelf life, consider refrigeration for items like desserts, smoothies, or sauces.
- Experiment Mindfully: CBD can be added to both sweet and savory dishes, from teas and smoothies to glazes, marinades, and desserts. Start with small experiments to find your favorite flavor combinations.
