Introduction

The great thing about cooking with CBD products is that there is no work required to use it as an ingredient. This is because the CBD is already active and suspended in a fat; all you need to do is add it to a recipe! Just remember, if the CBD you use is oil,  it can taste earthy so use a CBD product where the carrier oil is MCT (like The Real CBD 40%)  instead of hemp seed oil for a more neutral taste, useful to recreate CBD oil recipes with! Or even better – use The Real CBD water-soluble CBD powder in capsules for easy dosage and NO taste and NO odour! Cooking with CBD products is easy and we are going to give you some great and easy recipes of healthy treats for you and your family.

Tips for getting the best out of cooking with CBD products!


Introduce fat!

Firstly, if you are using CBD oil in your cooking, you have to introduce another fat in your cooking. It doesn't matter if it is oil or butter or lard. CBD oil is not water-soluble, so if there are no other fat added, your body will not be able to use the CBD.

However, if you use The Real CBD water-soluble CBD powder in capsule form, then you don't have to worry about that. Bonus… the powder is odorless and tasteless, so it will not change the taste of your cooking.


Do Not Overuse It!

You might be tempted to add CBD liberally. However, it is important to pace your consumption. Just like with dosage, you need to make sure that you use an amount that you can handle. Beginners should start small, while those that are more comfortable with this compound can feel free to experiment.


Pick the Best Products!

The first thing you need to remember when cooking with (CBD) is to pick the perfect product for you. You want to make sure that you get one with the right dosage. If you are a first-timer, you would not want to get something that is too potent, while you might want to get a more potent item if you are a veteran with cannabidiol. Moreover, see to it that you pick a high-quality ingredient. This way, you can achieve the desired effect and enjoy the full potential of your special component.

Here is a few ideas on cooking with CBD products – Try them, they are delicious and easy to make!
