Easy recipes to make at home with CBD Flowers

CBD flowers are not only appreciated for their relaxing and therapeutic benefits, they are also increasingly popular in cooking. Their use in recipes allows you to take advantage of the beneficial properties of cannabidiol while creating tasty and unique dishes. At Green Gentle, we firmly believe in this synergy between well-being and gastronomy. Are you wondering how to use CBD flowers in your recipes? Here are simple and delicious ideas for integrating CBD into your daily diet.

Why Use CBD Flowers in Cooking?

CBD flowers are rich in cannabinoids , including CBD (cannabidiol), and terpenes , which offer a wide range of health benefits. For example:

• CBD may help reduce anxiety , promote restful sleep , and relieve chronic pain .
• Terpenes, for their part, participate in the entourage effect, amplifying the effects of CBD while bringing natural aromas to recipes.

The advantage of incorporating CBD flowers into your dishes is that the fat , necessary for the absorption of cannabinoids, is often present in many preparations, ensuring good bioavailability of CBD. You can thus enjoy its effects while savoring delicious recipes.

How to Dose CBD Flowers in Cooking?

Dosage is essential to get the most out of CBD, without overdoing it. CBD flowers can contain between 5% and 20% CBD, depending on the variety. For example:

• 1 gram of 10% CBD flowers contains approximately 100 mg of CBD .
• 1 gram of 5% CBD flowers corresponds to 50 mg of CBD .

It is recommended to start with low doses to observe how your body reacts:

• Infusion : Approximately 5 g of CBD flowers for an infusion of approximately 10 to 15 mg of CBD per cup.
• CBD Butter or Oil : Use 5-10g of flowers per 100g of butter or oil, adjusting according to the CBD concentration of the flowers.
• Pastries : If using an infused butter or oil, spread the CBD dosage across all servings.
