If you’ve never tried CBD oil before, then you may be wondering what it tastes like before you give it a try. Or maybe you’ve tried it and were put off by the taste, and are looking for ways around it. We’ve got a quick rundown of all things related to the taste of CBD oil.
Does CBD oil taste bad?
As with most things, this all depends on personal preference. And it also partly comes down to the carrier oil that is combined with the CBD. The CBD itself generally has quite an earthy and bitter taste, so the carrier oil used is often chosen to try to offset this bitterness. Your CBD oil may have a slightly nutty flavor depending on the carrier oil used.
CBD oil is typically taken sublingually, which means you put a few drops under your tongue and wait for around a minute before swallowing it. So, if you’re not keen on the flavor, it could cause problems since you will be able to taste it using this method, although you may get used to it over time.
Flavored CBD oil
If the taste of traditional CBD oil does bother you, then you can look for flavored CBD oil instead. You can look for CBD oil with fruity, minty, citrusy, or even chocolatey flavors to suit your tastes, although these products may be slightly more expensive.
CBD oil in food and drink
If you’re looking for ways to mask the taste of CBD oil, then you can easily add it to food or drink and consume it that way. You can add it to tea, coffee, smoothies, and juices, or to whatever meal you’re cooking, especially foods with a sauce. Just a couple of drops of CBD oil into your drink can have a great effect, or more if you’re cooking a meal that will make up several portions.
Make sure to consider the dose you normally take, or start off small if it’s your first time using it. The flavor of whatever you’re eating or drinking should mask the taste of the CBD oil, making it a nicer tasting option for using CBD oil. Alternatively, you can buy CBD edibles rather than adding your own oil to food and drink.
