Extra Information:

While cooking with cannabinoids may seem intimidating for beginners, it is quite simple. The most important thing to remember is that the temperature of cannabidiol has to remain below 350 degrees Fahrenheit. cooking with CBD above this point will cause it to evaporate, which renders it useless.

CBD Infused Jambalaya requires lipids to work, which means they are fat-soluble. Tinctures and oils already contain enough fat for CBD to dissolve; these products can be added directly to recipes without any additional preparation. CBD isolates, on the other hand, must first be infused into oils or fat-based ingredients, such as butter or coconut oil.

To prepare cannabidiol isolate for use in recipes, select the full-fat version of whatever the recipe calls for, whether it is butter or oil. Avoid using fat-free or low-fat options, as these will not be as effective. Use a double boiler to heat the oil or butter, then add the desired amount of isolate and stir. Allow the mixture to cool and proceed as the recipe directs.

As with all cannabinoid products, remember to start low and go slow. Gradually increase the amount of CBD in recipes to achieve the right dose.
