Vegan-Safe, and Delicious!
Many people choose a vegan diet for ethical reasons and simultaneously reap the rewards of the many health benefits that come with the lifestyle change. A well-balanced plant-based diet is useful in preventing and treating metabolic disease and cardiovascular disorders. (1) It’s also proven to help people with type II diabetes achieve weight loss and improve glycemic control. (2) Vegan gummies are a great choice for people who want to enjoy the benefits of cannabis without smoking, particularly if it’s their first-time. The highest-quality gummies can easily replicate your favorite fruity flavors and provide a satisfying dose of THC! And, although sweet treats aren’t always the most healthy option, most would agree – a bitesize edible (or two) won’t put a big dent in your diet!
What Makes an Edible Vegan-Friendly?
Veganism increased a staggering 600% in the United States from 2014 to 2018, with numbers continuing to rise year after year. (3) Despite the many vegan options available, care must be taken when buying grocery items. Label-checking and ingredient research are essential, even when it comes to seemingly innocuous items like candy! Many gummy candies, in particular, contain gelatin, an animal-derived agent used to stabilize and thicken the product. Thankfully, many mouth-watering gummies, including the weed-infused ones, contain the perfect gelatin substitute!
Fruit-Based Pectin
Pectin is a naturally-occurring complex carbohydrate, or starch. It’s a gelling agent found in many fruit and vegetable products, and is commonly used in jams, jellies, and fruit preserves. Not surprisingly, it’s also frequently used to produce the slightly soft, chewy texture in gummy edibles. Many non-vegans even prefer the lighter, less rubbery quality of pectin-based gummy candies than those containing gelatin. The great thing about pectin is that it’s 100% plant-based, and therefore completely vegan-friendly!
CA Certified: Quality Guaranteed
Canna Culture takes pride in providing top-shelf vegan edibles. When buying any cannabis product – edible or otherwise – it’s vital you do so with a licensed, reputable dispensary to guarantee quality and authenticity. Though it may be tempting to do so, buying edibles on the black market at unlicensed, unregulated shops is a risky business. Unfortunately, some less-than-reputable sources make and sell edibles with no regard for buyer safety or product quality. Many black-market edibles commonly rely on buyers’ existing candy knowledge and prey on their childhood nostalgia and sweet tooth. They frequently encroach on existing candy copyrights and have similar packaging to the original brand, so use a discerning eye and shop wisely!
There’s a quick, straightforward way to check your weed products. Be sure to scan your weed’s packaging for the CA-certified symbol. A cannabis leaf and exclamation point inside a triangle with “CA” below guarantees the product:
- Is licensed and legal for sale in the State of California
- Has undergone independent lab testing and verification
- Has been packaged securely in child-proof packaging
- Has labeling indicating accurate THC and other cannabinoid levels
