Italy’s
Flavor University, part of the National Food Education and Culture
Center, said cannabis is an “amazing ingredient” for cooking. The school
said the cannabis recommended for cooking is cannabis sativa, which
contains only trace amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the active
ingredient in marijuana. Glenda Giampaoli, director of the Museum of
Hemp Sant’Anatolia di Narco, which helped the university come up with
its recipes, said the THC content of the cooking cannabis, which is also
known as industrial hemp, is “virtually zero.” The school said hemp has
a taste similar to hazelnut and is most commonly used in the form of
flour, but the leaves, seeds and oil can also be used to “add a twist”
to recipes.
