Have you tried the most innovative edibles of 2021?
Not a shadow of a doubt on the edibles of early Legalization 2.0, but in the second half of this year innovation really got a chance to shine. Canadian brands are increasingly letting their inventive talent play out and are breaking away from the usual chocolates and gums.
Whether you’re spicing up a classic dessert, creating delicious flavor combinations, or focusing on cannabinoids beyond THC and CBD, there are plenty of new and innovative edibles out there.
Whether sweet or savory, with us you will find the right product for your palate. Take a look below at some of the newest and greatest cannabis edibles to hit Canada’s legal market in 2021.
Spicy ginger biscuit
By: Slowride Bakery
Dose: 10mg THC
This tangy ginger biscuit has a soft, chewy texture with a buttery bite. Sweet gingerbread aromas paired with light notes of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg ensure a warming pickup in the cold months. Cookies are a staple of cannabis edibles and Slowride Bakery has found the perfect texture and taste to offer something unique yet nostalgic.
Toasted coconut bites
By: LYF Bites
Dose: 10mg THC
If you’re in search of a new edible and have burned out from standard chocolates and gums, these toasted coconut bites should be remembered. These two-bite-sized snacks combine dates, pecans, oatmeal, pumpkin seeds, and raisins with a thick maple syrup flavor complemented by a hint of desiccated coconut. The taste is complex and tangy, while the texture achieves a premium level of stickiness with a nice crunch.
Meyer lemon poppy seed cake
By: Olli Brands
Dose: 10mg THC
Adding a cannabis note to a classic Meyer Lemon Poppyseed Cake is a brilliant idea, and these two bite-sized cakes from Olli combine a light lemon flavor like nothing else on the legal market.
Wrapped in small paper muffin cases, the cakes have a buttery texture with a light, fluffy center, paired with poppy seeds and unlike other edibles, they don’t create a mess of crumbs when unpacked.
Pineapple Habanero Hot Sauce
By: Heartbeat Hot Sauce x Bogart’s Kitchen
Dose: 10mg THC
Taco Tuesdays will never be the same again after spicing it up with Pineapple Habanero Hot Sauce. The mixture of pineapple and habanero peppers in Bogart’s Kitchen and Heartbeat Hot Sauce’s Collab brings a sweet fruitiness to the flavor and creates a balanced spiciness. The Thunder Bay-based hot sauce company keeps things for its sauces in small batches, of course, with no added preservatives, thickeners, or water.
Double chocolate brownie
From: Vers
Dose: 10mg THC
The fact that it took nearly three years of legalization for Canada’s cannabis industry to see a brownie is shocking. Once arrived, it was worth the wait. Verse created a rich, sweet, and delicious chocolaty treat that doesn’t feel like a sample size snack. Unlike many edibles on the legal market, the Double Chocolate Brownie is the size of a real dessert instead of a tiny piece to push you towards unfilled foods.
CBD honey sticks
By: True North Cannabis
Dose: 20 mg CBD per stick, 1000 mg per pack
Finding good products rich in CBD can be difficult, but True North Cannabis nailed it with its CBD Honey Sticks. They are made with Canadian honey and contain 20 mg of CBD per piece, with 50 sticks in the pack. They can be simply added to coffee or tea instead of using sugar, or delicious on their own.
Very cherry-soft chews
By: Vacay
Dose: 10mg THC
If you’re a fan of Big Turk chocolate bars, you’ll quickly fall in love with Vacay’s Very Cherry Soft Chews. These natural cherry gums are coated with a thin layer of milk chocolate that compliments the chewy dark cherry fruitiness. With five in the pack, you can easily nibble on them to take an evening session to the next level.
Mango Tango dried fruits
From: Rilaxe
Dose: 10mg THC
Health-conscious stoners will be happy to know that Mango Tango Dried Fruit contains a less sugary, fruity treat. Rilaxe re-imagines what a fruit-flavored snack can be in the cannabis industry with infused dried fruit that has a ton of natural flavor in every bite.
THC + CBG Pineapple Starfruit Soft Chews
From: Spinach
Dose: 10 mg THC, 5 mg CBG
Spinach has found the sweet spot between texture and taste with its edibles line. CBG Pineapple Starfruit Feelz have a soft but dense bite with a delicious taste that combines sweet pineapple with slightly tart starfruit. Products with CBG are new on the market, but the jury is not yet aware of the perceived effect.
Infused white sugar
From: Phat 420
Dose: 10mg THC
If your morning coffee needs that extra kick, Phat 420 has you covered in their Infused White Sugar. There is no additional texture, smell, or taste different from regular sugar. It’s an easy way to infuse anything that you would normally add a tablespoon or two of white sugar to. Just pour in, stir to dissolve, and enjoy!
CBN Blackberry Lemon Dream Soft Chews
By: Ace Valley
Dose: 10 mg THC, 5 mg CBN
CBN is slowly growing as a new cannabinoid on the market, and Ace Valley offers a delicious format to explore. CBN Blackberry Lemon Dream offers a light lemon finish that follows dense blackberry flavors. Each gummy bear comes with a 2: 1 ratio of THC to CBN for a balanced feeling.
