If you have ever shopped for edibles, you probably have come across sweet treats like hard candy, gummies, or classic brownies. You may have also seen quite a few unique savory edible options in higher-end dispensaries. At this point, you might be wondering what other types of edibles are out there.
Sweet and savory treats are delicious, but where are the salty snacks at? Why have we not seen THC-infused chips or cheese puffs yet? Thus far, there really hasn’t been any yummy salty snacks that contain THC on the market. That is, until now, with the invention of THC-infused tortilla chips and cheese puffs.
We tried five flavors of these innovative salty edibles and compared them to our sweet favorites below.
Salty vs. Sweet Edibles: Flavors
Sweet edibles typically come in fruity hard candies and gummies, as well as chocolate and popular bakery treats. Now, salty edibles come in popular snack forms as well. TSUMo Snacks makes salty edible tortilla chips that come in Zesty Ranch, Hint of Lime, and Salsa Verde. Additionally, they make cheese puffs that come in Classic Cheese, as well as Fiery Hot for spice lovers. These flavors were each designed as a nod to the most loved salty snacks.
While sweet edibles can be just as fun to snack on, they often don’t do the best job of masking the taste of weed; but salty edibles, by contrast, mask it nearly perfectly. You likely won’t taste even a trace of weed when you eat these snacks.
Salty vs. Sweet Edibles: Dosing
Since sweet edibles have been popular longer than any other type of edibles, they currently come in a variety of dosing options regarding THC content. Some packages come with as much as 100mg of THC (or more depending on local regulations) divided into portions to be taken in smaller doses or all at once for people with a high tolerance.
Managing your dosing with salty snacks is just as simple as with sweet THC treats. TSUMo Snacks bags each come with 10mg of THC, so you can eat the whole bag without fear of overdoing your dose. And, if just one 10mg bag isn’t enough for you, these salty treats are so tasty that you certainly won’t mind opening up another.
Salty vs. Sweet Edibles: Process
Candy edibles are usually made with cannabis distillate or crystals mixed into the candy at the point of production, as the THC component bonds with the fatty ingredients in the candy. Some baked edibles are made with butter or oil that has been infused with cannabis. This is done by baking cannabis flower in the oven, also known as decarboxylation, grinding it up, mixing it with melted butter or an oil of choice, straining that mixture, and then incorporating it accordingly while combining all of the ingredients to then be baked.
Salty edibles are made a little bit differently; the outer flavor coating is the element that is usually infused with THC, as the flavors can easily be mixed with cannabis oil and applied to the chip.
Final Thoughts
Sweet snacks have dominated the edible industry for a long time. And while they are delicious, it’s time for something new. There are a few key differences between sweet and salty edibles. This includes the flavor, the dosage, and the method of incorporating cannabis into the recipe. These factors all make for a nice change of pace from the usual candy and brownies.
Thanks to TSUMo Snacks, edibles are available in your favorite staple salty snacks. There are five mouth-watering flavors to choose from, so you’re likely to find one that you love, with an easy dose of 10mg per bag.
