Curious Cases of Cannabis-Infused Cuisine: Exploring Unusual Edibles

Chocolates, baked treats, and gummies are the most common types of cannabis-infused edibles. But, why? The biggest reason is that these foods are heavy in infused oils and sugar meaning they can better mask the strong flavors of cannabis extracts. Thanks to recent innovations in food and infusion science, however, new and exciting unusual edibles are now on the market!

The emergence of more diverse options for cannabis edibles presents consumers with creative and delicious new ways to enjoy cannabis cuisine. For the culinary experimenter looking to expand their palette, here is a list of the more unusual offerings available in the market of cannabis edibles.
