What Defines Decarbing Cannabis?

Decarboxylation is also known as “decarbing” is a chemical process that removes a carboxyl group in a chemical reaction, and releases carbon dioxide.

All cannabinoids from raw cannabis flowers have an additional carboxyl group or band.

When a certain heat level is applied for a specific amount of time, it starts the THCA conversion process to THC.

Most people decarb cannabis by using a stove in their kitchen or another device that can perform a similar function.

Decarbing is the best way to get the most out of your cannabis. This ensures potency and that none goes to waste.

A Quick Explanation On Kief

The average cannabis consumer will probably know what kief is.

However, for those who are new to the cannabis scene or returning after a long-departed break, the term might be new to them.

Kief refers to the shiny colored crystals that are found on cannabis flowers.

You can usually obtain usable kief through your grinder.

Most grinders will have a kief chamber that collects all the ground-up crystals at the bottom of the grinder.

It can take a while to collect enough kief from grinding up your nugs for you to use in your cannabis recipes.

However, consumers can still purchase tools such as kief boxes along with other contraptions that can provide faster methods to extract the kief from the flower nug.

Also, in many of the cannabis legal jurisdictions, kief can usually be found available at various dispensaries in the same way as any other cannabis product.

How To Decarb Kief

The step-by-step process goes as follows:

For each recipe, ensure you get the proper amount of kief.
Spread the kief over an oven-safe platter.
Preheat the oven to 250°F.
Place the dish into the oven and bake for approximately 20 min.
You are now ready to use your kief!

You will make your edibles even more potent by decarbing your kief.

Making edibles can often be less expensive than going to a dispensary.

Additionally, you can have complete control over the potency.

Temperatures can vary up to 10 degrees or so in either direction.

We hope you enjoy your decarbed kief edibles!
