📋 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Maltodextrin Powder? Is it safe?
Maltodextrin is generally used as a thickener or filler to increase the volume of a processed food. It's also a preservative that increases the shelf life of packaged foods. It's inexpensive and easy to produce, so it's useful for thickening products such as instant pudding and gelatins, sauces, and salad dressings.
It's typically a powder made of rice, corn, wheat or potatoes. It is dairy free, vegetarian and vegan. It is not a sugar, but it can be used as a sugar substitute.
Maltodextrin can be a quick source of energy. One gram contains four calories, the same amount as table sugar or sucrose. The body digests the powder quickly to help you get some fuel for your muscles. This explains why companies use it in large quantities in making energy drinks and sports drinks.
If you are diabetic, on the keto diet or needing to avoid carbohydrates for some reason, you will not want to eat Maltodextrin Powder.
Why does THC powder hit faster than Canna Oil or other infusions?
THC powder (or Cannabis Oil Powder) is water soluble, which means it absorbs into the bloodstream faster than a typical infusion containing fat.
How should I use this THC powder?
The options are endless. It's odorless and tasteless!
- Sprinkle on any single recipe you make
- Stir in to your hot drinks (like Canna Coffee and our Keto Hot Chocolate)
- Sprinkle it on your morning oatmeal or yogurt
- Stir it into your morning smoothie
- Sprinkle it on your cereal
- Sprinkle it on your ice cream
Can I stir this into a cold drink?
Yes, but it's not completely perfect in cold drinks. You may notice some lumps or some oil rising to the surface. But definitely give it a try.

How do I make these Ganja Granola Bars Healthy?
Everyone has a different version of "health" these days, but you could stir in mixed nuts, coconut, dried fruit and other "healthy" choices to keep them delicious without adding extra sugar or chocolate.
How do I make these more potent?
There are several ways to make these more potent.
- You could use a stronger strain of marijuana when you create your butter or honey infusion.
- You could use more CannaButter in the recipe to replace the regular butter.
- You could use CannaButter AND CannaHoney.
