CBD, also called cannabidiol, is one of the cannabinoids, substances found in CBD flowers.
Regulated legalizationCBD is not considered a narcotic; in fact, the THC content of the cannabis from which it is derived is very low and must be less than 0.2%. THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the primary active molecule in cannabis. Under pressure from other European countries, France legalized CBD and its cultivation on June 23, 2021.
In January 2022, a new law further clarified the legal framework for CBD. Thus, plants and cuttings are prohibited from being sold and are reserved for farmers authorized to cultivate them. Cannabidiol-based products, however, are authorized for consumption.
What are the effects of CBD?
Thanks to its very low cannabis content, CBD can offer numerous benefits for your overall well-being:
CBD can relieve muscle and joint pain, among other things, thanks to its recognized anti-inflammatory properties.
- It contributes to maintaining the balance of your nervous system, as well as your immune system.
- The anxiolytic properties of cannabidiol allow you to significantly reduce stress and anxiety by providing a feeling of calm and relaxation.
- Some sleep disorders can be quickly soothed with CBD oil, consumed as an infusion before bedtime.
- Why cook with CBD? Recipes made with CBD have become increasingly popular in the United States over the past decade, where foods prepared with CBD-containing products are called “edibles.”The growing popularity of cannabidiol consumption through food stems from its safe ingestion, which has no harmful effects on the respiratory system. Furthermore, it offers a gentler option for those who dislike the taste or smell of CBD and are therefore averse to herbal teas and oils.
Finally, CBD contains all 20 amino acids necessary for your body, as well as numerous nutrients and minerals.
In what form can CBD be used in cooking?
CBD recipes primarily use it in three forms: oil, flower, and resin.
CBD Oil
Because it is an oil, CBD oil is ideal for cooking. It can be used in salad dressings or in the batter for your favorite cakes.
CBD Flower and Resin Crumbled, CBD flower and resin can be added to your infusions or directly to your salads. The choice between oil, flower, or resin depends on your preferences. CBD Cookies: Our Recipe
What other cookies and cakes can be made with CBD?
Convinced by cookies and want to discover other CBD cake recipes? You should know that it’s possible to bake other equally popular and delicious treats.
For example, try a brownie or muffin, which is much less dangerous than the infamous “space cake” with its much higher (and therefore illegal) cannabis content. Traditional yogurt, chocolate, or lemon cakes are also very popular with CBD baking enthusiasts.
Finally, the world of pastry is not to be outdone, as chef Philippe Conticini himself is offering the first CBD-based pastry for sale. Get baking!
