Why Delta-8 THC Distillate is the Perfect Choice for Cooking

As a chef, you want to taste the various flavors within the food or drink — not the terpenes found in hemp.

To achieve this, you’ll need to reach for a product that’s filled with D8 and nothing else. Unlike tinctures and other concentrates, Delta-8 THC Distillate is void of secondary components, such as terpenes.

Ultimately, D8 THC Distillate allows you to incorporate the relaxing effects of D8 into an afternoon snack or your morning smoothie.

Learn How to Cook With Delta-8 THC Distillate in Three Easy Steps

Whether you have D8 THC Distillate in hand or not — it’s time to learn how to incorporate it into your meals.

Step One

First and foremost, have a plan for what you’re going to prepare.

From lengthy recipes to a cup of coffee, you must know what you’re going to add D8 Distillate to. Therefore, step one is all about making a plan.

Once you know what you’re going to prepare, head over to step two.

Step Two

Cook or prepare your meal or drink.

In other words, if you’re going to make a smoothie — do everything as you usually would. Are you cooking an omelet or oatmeal? If so, cook or prepare it as usual.

Once your food or drink is ready — head over to step three.

Step Three

Soak your glass syringe in hot water for a few minutes to make it easier to dispense. Take your Delta-8 THC Distillate and add a predetermined amount to your food or drink.

If it’s your first time using D8 Distillate, begin with a low dosage. Add your standard dose if you’re already accustomed to Delta-8 THC Distillate.

If adding to a drink, make sure to swirl the D8 Distillate adequately to ensure it disperses. When adding Delta-8 THC with food, spread it evenly across the meal.

Remember, you do not need to heat Delta-8 THC Distillate to “activate” it — it’s already active!

Baking with Delta-8 THC

In addition to being easy to incorporate into your everyday meals, Delta-8 distillate is extremely easy to include into your favorite baked goods. Unlike regular cannabis, delta-8 distillate is already active, so there's no need for decarboxylation.

That means you can simply add the desired dose of D8 into your mixture with the other ingredients. We recommend starting with a lower dose at first, aiming for somewhere between 1/4-1/2 ml per 24 servings. This will result in edibles that contain about 10-20mg Delta-8 THC per serving.

When baking with delta-8 distillate, you will want to keep the oven temperature a bit lower than usual, as THC will start to degrade at temperatures above 340° degrees.
