However, there are some important things to consider when it comes to using your favorite CBD product to prepare food with.

CBD Infused in Fresh Food VS Baking
Most CBD products utilize a carrier oil, which is used to help preserve the raw hemp extract and keep it from going bad. Common carriers include avocado oil, olive oil, or hemp seed oil, but the most prominent ones are MCT and PG. The carrier oil is important to consider when cooking with CBD infused in fresh food vs baking.
MCT Carrier
MCT stands for medium-chain triglyceride, and it is a type of saturated fat that is made from processed coconut and palm oil. While coconut oil and MCT is often thought to be the same thing, coconut oil also contains LCTs, or long-chain triglycerides, in addition to MCT. The two fats differ in how they are metabolized in the body, with MCT being easier and faster to digest.
MCT has relatively no flavor and is often used by people who follow a keto diet as a healthier fat alternative. When cooking, it’s important to keep in mind that MCT has a smoke point of 320°F, so it may burn at higher cooking temperatures.
PG Carrier
Propylene glycol, or PG, is a popular synthetic food additive that contains a similar chemical structure to alcohol. It is almost tasteless, and it is better at dissolving certain substances as well as retaining moisture than water, which is why it is such a common ingredient for many different processed foods and beverages.
