Dosing Tips for Your Cannabis Black Bean Soup
- Drizzle a measured amount of cannabis oil over finished dishes rather than cooking with it for the most accurate dosing.
- Vegan savory dishes often use coconut oil or olive oil as the primary fat, both of which infuse well with cannabis.
- Keep servings at 5-10 mg. Plant-based meals may digest slightly faster due to higher fiber content.
- Nutritional yeast, miso, and tamari add umami depth that pairs well with and masks the herbal cannabis flavor.
- Stir infused oil into the finished soup and serve in measured ladles; partially blending creates a thicker, more even consistency.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Sauteing vegetables in cannabis oil at high heat wastes THC. Cook with regular oil and add cannabis oil when plating.
- Not accounting for the additional calories and fat from cannabis oil when planning a healthy vegan meal.
- Assuming cannabis olive oil tastes the same as regular olive oil. It has an herbal, slightly bitter note that needs to be balanced.
- Under-seasoning. Vegan savory dishes need bold flavors, and this is doubly true when cannabis is involved.
How to Store Cannabis Black Bean Soup
- Vegan cannabis savory dishes store 3-5 days refrigerated. The plant-based ingredients generally keep well.
- Cannabis-infused tahini, pesto, and other vegan sauces freeze beautifully for 2-3 months.
- Store cannabis olive oil in a dark glass bottle in a cool cupboard for up to 3 months.
- Refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months; the soup thickens as it cools so add water when reheating.
