so as i can see by my name i cook for a living... been interested for years about cooking w mj and sadly havent done much experimenting yet... mostly off of the recipes i have seen say "1 cup bud" or "add bud butter" and so forth. but i want to know from u guys if you have noticed different flavor profiles from different strains, and which strains have you found to best compliment your dish, not only with flavor but nice medicating as well... im sure if u use the same recipe w 2 diff straisn it will taste different. but thats only my cook side talking havent tried yet.. peace

i make edibles all the time (in addition to cooking non medicated food). i haven't noticed a different flavor profile between strains at all. once you make the cannabutter, the herbal aspect pretty much all tastes the same. but, depending on the potency of the butter, it will smell stronger or weaker.

i think the quality and flavor of the butter you use changes the flavor profile more than the type of strain. i usually use high fat european butter (not salted) like plugra or kerrigold. the thc attaches to the fat molecules of the butter, so not only will it taste better to use good butter, but will be more potent as well. you can also make canna oil ---and the flavor profiles will be very different depending on the type of oil you use.

not sure about cannabutter as ive not made it.. BUT i have made infused oils , the type of oil u use does deeply affect the flavor, but it whatever your infusing the oil with ( in this case bud ) it should pick up the flavor of that strain... we all know that all strains taste different when we smoke them, so same should apply to when we eat them.. my whole goal is to try and compliment the flavor of the strains.. if they taste great smoking id like to bring that out in the food... peace

i haven't made infused oil w/ bud either, but i have made it w/ herbs........i'm not sure if it will translate in the same manner. my suggestion, would be to try a couple of small batches. get two grams of totally different buds, put them in the same oil, or two batches of butter and compare. i would be very interested in hearing the results. good luck!
