Julia (AskGrowers) : Your business focuses on CBD products as a health benefit. What is your bestseller right now and what does it offer the consumer?

 

Sam Uddin (Therapeutic Treats) : We offer both Full Spectrum and THC free Organic CBD Chocolates on our website. Most popular flavors are 70% dark chocolate, peanut butter & honey milk chocolate, and caramel coconut milk chocolate.

Julia : Why did you decide to focus on chocolates as your CBD edible?

 

Sam : Growing up I had a bad sweet tooth and an affinity for desserts and my partner is a chief who loves to bake. We wanted to combine our passions for sweets and deliver CBD in a healthy delicious consumption method. Plus oils and fats digest and travel best in the body together so combining hemp oil into the chocolates fats makes for a great delivery method. Also this gives consumers a discreet consumption option plus children who need CBD would be much more inclined to eat a piece of chocolate than take a drop of oil or a syringe method.
