Cannabis Cuisine Just Got a Whole lot Fancier

The edibles reminiscent of college dorm parties are taking a backseat to cannabis cuisine that is emerging with a fancier fare in mind.

Cannabis Infused Salmon is on the Menu

Sliced thin with flecks of dill peeking out, the salmon looks like any other of gravlax you would have for brunch. But put it on a bagel with a schmear of cream cheese, and you will get pretty stoned eating this delicacy. The mastermind behind the THC-infused salmon – cured in salt, dill, lemon, sugar and a weed tincture – is Josh Pollack, owner of Rosenberg’s Bagels and Delicatessen in Denver.

Cannabis Indica Strains

When we talk about marijuana, pot or weed these days it’s inspiring to hear the term “Cannabis” being used more frequently among the general population as the propaganda from the past gradually fades away.

As a society we are becoming re-educated about this incredible plant that has served us for thousands of years as a medicinal and recreational herb, a plant that seems to be tailor made for humanity !

When we talk about “Cannabis Indica ” we are specifically referring to the genotype or landrace that originated in the middle east in the mountains of Afghanistan. We are all familiar with the potent “Hashish” that the locals make.  In fact entire cultures and lifestyles in these regions are based on the cannabis concentrates industry.

There are many well know strains of Cannabis Indica being grown and enjoyed worldwide such as Afghan Kush, Hindu Kush, Northern Lights and Blueberry Kush just to name a few.

Using these very potent Indica strains growers all over the world have developed many of the hybrids like “Blue Dream” which is a cross between the Indica Blueberry Kush and the Sativa Haze.

Each year growers are enhancing the technology being used in grow rooms allowing them to produce new strains and phenotypes with higher potency yields in both THC and CDB cannabinoids.

Cannabis Indica of course has its own unique characteristics when compared to Cannabis Sativa.

1. Cannabis Indica has broader leaves with the plants being generally shorter and more bushy.
2. The buds or flowers are more dense, which is one reason growers like to grow Indica strains as weight is an important factor when you’re selling a product by the ounce or pound.
3. The high is different from Sativa strains , being characterized as more of a “couch lock” effect , more relaxed, more sedated and usually best enjoyed in the evening or at night to unwind and slow down.
4. Cannabis Indica strains are typically higher in CDB ( Cannabidiol ) making them ideal for medicinal use when patients want to relieve pain, increase appetite and need more restful sleep,  all part of the healing process.

How To Cook With Cannabis

Cooking with cannabis is a rapidly evolving culinary art form these days as chefs and cooks all over the world are learning the subtleties of infusing food with the complex cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant.

Because of the resurgence of cannabis in our society the culture of cannabis is changing as well.  Traditionally it has been about smoking and getting high in a social setting, sharing a joint among friends, at a concert or a party.

This dynamic has changed over the years however,  the new science and research is showing us the health benefits of cannabis and how it interacts with our bodies own endocannabinoid system.

These revelations have helped to catapult cannabis into the culinary world.  The list of cannabis infused recipes is growing daily, quickly moving beyond “Pot Brownies” into traditional meals, cannabis cuisine has become…”Whats for Dinner” !

The process of infusing food with the cannabinoids found in cannabis is accomplished by adding concentrates made for cooking, typically these break down into 3 categories.

1. Cannabutter is one of the most common and can be used in a wide variety of recipes from sweets and baked goods to regular meals that are common for the dinner table.
2. Cannaoil is another widely used concentrate that is generally used with dinner menu items as opposed to sweets. The oil used to make this concentrate is usually olive oil , coconut oil or even common vegetable or conola oil.
3. Cannaflour is also a viable way to infuse your meal.  Cannaflour is generally used for baking of course and is generally mixed in with regular flour with between 10% – 20% cannaflour and the rest traditional baking flour.
