Why is Decarboxylation Important?

Before baking, you must properly prepare the hemp. Decarboxylation is a key process where cannabinoid acids are converted to active cannabinoids by heat. For example, CBDA is converted to CBD.

How to do it: Spread ground hemp buds on a baking sheet with parchment paper and place in an oven heated to 105–120 °C for 30–45 minutes. Without this step, the pastry would not have the desired effect!
