Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to cannabinoids infused consumables, including cacao beans, dehydrated fruit, and raw popcorn kernels, along with methods of producing the cannabinoid infused cacao beans, dehydrated fruit, and raw popcorn kernels. The consumables are infused in an overall two-step process, in which cannabinoids from a Cannabis species are first infused into coconut oil, which in turn is used to infuse cacao beans, dehydrated fruit and raw popcorn kernels with cannabinoids to generate the cannabinoids infused cacao beans, dehydrated fruit and raw popcorn kernels.

Claims (41)

1. A method of infusing an orally ingestible consumable with cannabis whole spectrum cannabinoids, the method comprising:

(A) providing cannabis;

(B) freezing the cannabis to provide frozen cannabis;

(C) providing coconut oil at a temperature of 150° F.-200° F.;

(D) adding at least a portion of the frozen cannabis of (B) to the coconut oil of (C) to form a first cannabis and coconut oil mixture;

(E) heating the first cannabis and coconut oil mixture of (D) to a temperature of 150° F.-200° F. for 5-7 hours;

(F) freezing the cannabis and coconut oil mixture of (E) into a solid, frozen biomass;

(G) heating the solid, frozen biomass of (F) at a temperature of 150° F.-200° F. for 2-4 hours to yield a heated biomass;

(H) straining the heated biomass of (G) to separate the coconut oil from the cannabis to yield a whole spectrum cannabinoids infused orally ingestible coconut oil;

(I) heating the whole spectrum cannabinoids infused orally ingestible coconut oil of (H) to a temperature of 250° F. to 300° F. for 3-6 hours;

(J) adding an orally ingestible consumable to the cannabinoids infused coconut oil of (I) to form a consumable and cannabinoids infused coconut oil mixture;

(K) heating the consumable and cannabinoids infused coconut oil mixture of (J) to a temperature of 175° F.-195° F. for 5-6 hours;

(L) freezing the heated mixture of (K) to form a solid, frozen biomass mixture of consumable and cannabinoids infused coconut oil;

(M) heating the solid, frozen biomass mixture of consumable and cannabinoids infused coconut oil of (L) to a temperature of 100° F.-150° F. to liquify the cannabinoids infused coconut oil; and

(N) straining the liquified cannabinoids infused coconut oil of (M) to yield a whole spectrum cannabinoids infused consumable, wherein the consumable is selected from the group consisting of dehydrated fruit, popcorn kernel, and cacao bean.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

(O) freezing the whole spectrum cannabinoids infused consumable.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

after step (F):

(i) heating the solid, frozen biomass of cannabis and coconut oil mixture of (F) to a temperature of 150° F.-200° F. for 5-7 hours;

(ii) freezing the cannabis and coconut oil mixture of (F) (i) into a solid, frozen biomass;

(G) heating the solid, frozen biomass of cannabis and coconut oil mixture of (ii) to a temperature of 150° F.-200° F. for 2-4 hours.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising after step (L):

(i) heating the solid, frozen biomass mixture of consumable and cannabinoids infused coconut oil of (L) to a temperature of 175° F.-195° F. for 5-6 hours;

(ii) freezing the consumable and cannabinoids infused coconut oil mixture of (i) into a solid, frozen biomass;

(M) heating the solid, frozen biomass mixture of consumable and cannabinoids infused coconut oil of (ii) to a temperature of 100° F.-150° F. to liquify the cannabinoids infused coconut oil.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising after step (F):

(i) heating the solid, frozen biomass of cannabis and coconut oil mixture of (F) to a temperature of 150° F.-200° F. for 5-7 hours;

ii) freezing the cannabis and coconut oil mixture of (i) into a solid, frozen biomass;

(G) heating the solid, frozen biomass of cannabis and coconut oil mixture of (ii) to a temperature of 150° F.-200° F. for 2-4 hours; and

after step (L):

(i) heating the solid, frozen biomass mixture of consumable and cannabinoids infused coconut oil of (L) to a temperature of 175° F.-195° F. for 5-6 hours;

(ii) freezing the consumable and cannabinoids infused coconut oil mixture of (i) into a solid, frozen biomass;

(M) heating the solid, frozen biomass mixture of consumable and cannabinoids infused coconut oil of (ii) to a temperature of 100° F.-150° F. to liquify the cannabinoids infused coconut oil.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the cannabis is selected from the group consisting of Cannabis Sativa, Cannabis Indica, and Cannabis Ruderalis.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the coconut oil provided in (C) is a mixture of coconut oil and MCT oil at a ratio ranging from 75% coconut oil: 25% MCT oil to 90% coconut oil: 10% MCT oil.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein the orally ingestible consumable is cacao beans.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the orally ingestible consumable is dehydrated fruit.

10. He method of claim 1 wherein the orally ingestible consumable is raw popcorn kernels.

11. He method of claim 1 wherein the cannabis and coconut oil are provided at a ratio of 1 pound plant material to 2 gallons of coconut oil in (D).
