Hemp seed oil can be used just like olive oil, grape seed oil or sunflower oil.
Read on and get inspired by how healthy oil can be part of your cooking.
You will get tips on how to use it in different recipes and what to watch out for when cooking with cannabis oil.
Beware of the temperature
When preparing food with cannabis oil or hemp seed oil, there are a few things to consider. The oil has a low cooking temperature, which means that the oil has to be cooked at low temperatures. It is therefore not suitable for a wok, roasting or the like.
Do not cook cannabis oil dishes above 70-80 celsius degrees, as cooking at higher temperatures makes the taste very bitter. Based on this knowledge, it can be said that the oil is best suited for cold dishes and side dishes, as well as cold soups or dips and dressings.
Pay attention to the fat content
Note that CBD oil tastes best when mixed with other foods that are high in fat that the cannabis oil can bind to.
Alternatively, you can use delicious alcoholic drinks that add a little taste. Try vodka, rum or cognac, for example.
Delicious Mexican guacamole with hemp
Avocado is a fruit with good fats that can be used perfectly to bind cannabis oil.
What you need to make this delicious guacamole is:
- 3 ripe avocados
- Lime juice from a lime
- 2 ripe tomatoes
- salt and pepper
- 1 chopped onion
- slightly crushed garlic
- 3 tablespoons of chopped coriander
- a little cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon of cannabis oil e.g. CBD oil
Prepare the guacamole by chopping all avocados, chopping the tomatoes well and mixing them with lime juice. Then add a little salt and pepper, chopped onions, spices and the delicious coriander. If you don’t like coriander, you can leave it out. Mix everything into a deliciously fragrant mixture. Finally, add a teaspoon of cannabis oil that gives the last shot of health to the guacamole.
You can eat the guacamole in your Friday tortilla or as a dip for too salty chips. You can also bring it to work and spread it on a piece of rye bread with cucumber.
A versatile cannabis dressing
Does it sound a little too exotic for your taste? Take it easy – a cannabis dressing is an ordinary salad dressing, with about 50ml of added hemp seed oil.
You need:
- 50ml hemp seed oil
- 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or similar
- 0.5 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- salt and pepper
Mix everything well until the dressing has an even consistency. The dressing is a delicious mustard dressing that you can use on a good piece of meat, over a delicious summer salad or on raw food.
All side dishes with one difference
Would you like to prepare a delicious side dish for your guests?
The CBD oil can be eaten with any good piece of meat or as a healthy alternative to potatoes and pasta.
As already mentioned, hemp seed oil has to be added to the food after the high temperatures used for cooking have dropped.
Hemp seed oil side dish for everyone
A good and simple recipe for delicious side dishes for a good sirloin doesn’t take long, but it can improve your dish considerably.
You need:
- Fresh asparagus as needed
- Broccoli as needed
- pumpkin seeds
- walnuts

Also add a little lemon juice and hemp seed oil so that everything is connected. Sprinkle the spices on the side dish. Now you have a delicious side dish for all kinds of dishes – winter and summer.
Cannabis oil is perfect for vegan recipes
In summer it is nice and refreshing to cool off with an ice cold smoothie that does not make you feel guilty. A smoothie doesn’t have to be unhealthy to taste good. And if you want to spice up the smoothies, add a little hemp seed oil or hemp protein to strengthen your smoothie after your workout. Hemp seed oil is suitable for cold dishes because it does not contradict the refractive index of the oil and therefore does not make the oil bitter.
