To newbie cannabis folks, thinking about eating marijuana edibles may feel like eating grass. Fortunately, the good news is that they don’t really have to feel like that as there are known ways to consume marijuana with a different taste.

Check the steps below on how to prepare your own edibles even at home.

1. Reduce the fat you use. Fat mixed with cannabis and cooked in high heat becomes tastier, especially when used with virgin oil before cooking.
2. Make savory edibles. Using mild cannabis flavors to dishes like mac ad cheese as well as dips is better than when weeds are added to sweets. Other herbs like rosemary and thyme mixed with cannabis may also taste well which will surprise you not to notice the pungent smell of weeds anymore.
3. Use full flowers for cannabutter preparation. Instead of trim cannabis, making edibles better and cost-efficient is possible by including the entire stash in the process. Much better flavor comes out in the edibles if whole cannabis is used.
4. Use high-quality butter and weed. This may be a little more expensive than usual but it ensures great cannabis experience. For the best result, you can also try premium unsalted butter with top-shelf cannabis strain.
5. Brown the cannabutter for baking. Butter becomes brown when toasted in low heat which brings out its better taste and nutty flavor which goes so great with cannabis-induced baked goodies.
6. Use a clean pot. Basically, food preparation should always be clean and sanitized which also applies to cannabis preparations.
7. Do not cook in temperatures higher than 338 degrees Fahrenheit. Always cook at low temperature. High temperatures degrade the THC content of cannabis so you must avoid that to maintain the quality of your bud. This way, you can achieve an evenly coated food without losing the potency of your cannabis.

Food is everyone’s favorite, as well as cannabis. If both can be consumed in just one meal, then that’s better. Try it your way and be surprised by the taste you’ll be able to create.
