CBD and Cooking: Why We Don't Cook With Our Flowers

"Can I put a bit of flower in my sauce?" We're often asked this. Before answering, one important point: in Switzerland, our CBD flowers are sold as products to smoke or vaporize, not as food. A food containing CBD falls under food law and requires specific authorisation.

Why we don't recommend cooking with our flowers

Our flowers are neither designed nor tested to be eaten. Their dose in a dish is impossible to control reliably, and they always contain a small amount of THC. That's why we don't give any flower-based recipes.

What you can do instead

If you like the idea of a relaxing moment around a hot drink, choose products sold for that purpose, like our hemp herbal teas. For precise daily use, oil under the tongue remains the simplest format: see our CBD oils.

A useful reminder about CBD and heat

CBD is fat-soluble: it dissolves in fats, not water. That's why we suggest adding a little whole milk or plant-based milk to a hemp herbal tea. It also breaks down at high temperatures, above about 180°C.

CBD is not a medicine. For adults only.
