Cannabis Coconut Oil: The Vegan Infusion Base

If butter is the classic edibles base, coconut oil is the vegan all-rounder. Its high saturated-fat content binds cannabinoids well, it sets solid for baking, and it works in sweet and savoury dishes alike.

Why coconut oil works so well

Cannabinoids are fat-soluble, and coconut oil has more saturated fat than most oils — so it can carry a strong, even dose. It's also dairy-free, making it the go-to base for vegan edibles.

How to make it

Decarb your flower, then warm it with coconut oil in a double boiler at 70–90 °C for about 2 hours and strain. Full method in our infused coconut oil recipe. Read the decarb guide first.

Solid at room temperature, liquid when warm — store it in a jar and scoop by the tablespoon.

How to use and dose it

Use it anywhere you'd use butter or oil: baking, curries, smoothies, or capsules. Portion it with the Dosing Terminal to hit an exact dose per serving.

FAQ

Is coconut oil better than butter for edibles?

It's better if you want a vegan base or one that sets solid; butter has a richer flavour for baking. Both carry cannabinoids well.

Can you use cannabis coconut oil in capsules?

Yes — it's a popular way to make precisely-dosed capsules, since it solidifies and is easy to portion.
