Cannabinoid Cuisine written by Nicky Plank Certified Ganjier @misskanjie_og Beyond Brownies…Cannabis and Food Remember your first infused brownie or cookie? What a treat! 30 to 45 minutes later, you get the sneaks! We’ve come a long way since the Brownie Mary’s and Sticky Finger brownie days, now we can easily purchase all types of edibles in our legal market from the savory to the sweet and everything in between. Some with great flavor and substance and with better bioavailability for better and faster absorption, others while still lacking in the flavor and taste still deliver the psychoactivity we desire. Along with new technologies, flavor enhancements and deliverability, cannabis has been showing up in gourmet dinners with more palatability and sophistication. Infused vs. Paired Is there a difference? Well, yes there is. While cannabis is used as an ingredient in both infused and paired dinners, the way in which it is used differs. Infusions add THC and/or other cannabinoids directly into the food for consumption while Pairings comprise of a selected strain which has been chosen based on cannabinoid and terpene profile to achieve enhancement consumed via smoke or vape directly before food consumption, similar to wine pairings.
