What is CBD?

CBD: you’ve seen those three letters everywhere for the last few years. But if you’re interested in trying CBD or adding it to your line of products, it’s best to know the basics.

CBD stands for cannabidiol, and it’s a compound found in the marijuana (cannabis) plant. Though unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD is non-psychoactive and doesn’t produce a “high.”

CBD is known for a range of health benefits, including:

  • Improving anxiety and depression symptoms
  • Relieving pain
  • Reducing inflammation
  • Improving sleep
  • Serving as a holistic medicinal treatment for various conditions

A Range of CBD Oil Flavors

For simplicity and ease of use, CBD oil is the product of choice for millions of consumers.

CBD oils are simply cannabidiol combined with a carrier oil—common options include:

  • Avocado oil
  • Hemp seed oil
  • Coconut oil
  • Medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil

A major factor that sets Bickford apart is our wide range of oil-soluble flavors and oil-soluble extracts. When you’re infusing flavor into an oil (or any oil-based product), there’s no need to add an emulsification step to incorporate the flavor—simply add it directly to your application!

CBD brands also rely on Bickford for their CBD tincture flavoring, too!

Flavors for CBD Gummies

There are few better mediums for unique flavor pairings than gummies! And with their ease of storing and eating on the go, they’re perfect for CBD infusion.

Here’s a simplified look at the gummy-making process: gelatin, your choice of flavoring, and water are combined then heated and poured into molds.

Such a simple process gives the gummy flavor a chance to shine!

CBD Beverage Flavors

The world of CBD beverages is growing larger (and more lucrative) every day. According to a report from Facts & Factors1, the CBD-infused beverage market is expected to reach over $14 million by 2026 (up from $3.4 million in 2020).

Types of trending CBD beverages include:

  • CBD seltzer and sparkling water
  • CBD cocktails and mocktails
  • CBD coffee and lattes
  • CBD water

But offering the latest and greatest beverages alone isn’t going to win over new customers. If you want to stand out, flavor matters.

Here are some of our beverage flavor suggestions:

  • Add a dash of citrus with flavors like orange, lemon, or lime
  • Go in an herbal direction with spearmint
  • Coconut brings that cool, refreshing essence on hot summer days


CBD Baked Goods

While beverages and oils have skyrocketed in popularity, now-trending CBD baked goods are worth your consideration too. Many CBD consumers now enjoy the compound’s benefits along with a tasty treat such as a brownie, cookie, or muffin.

Here are some CBD baking best practices to keep in mind:

  • Find the right medium: Rather than using the plant matter itself, it’s usually better for CBD cooking or baking applications to cook the compound into a base fat like oil or butter.
  • Watch your temperature: CBD’s boiling point occurs somewhere around 350° Fahrenheit. Baking it at higher temperatures can cause the ingredient to evaporate.
  • Use proper storage: CBD can lose potency when it’s exposed to light and heat—storing CBD baked goods in a cool, dark place is essential for shelf life.

A Wide Array of CBD Flavor Profiles

In the fast-growing, highly competitive CBD market, consumers have a whole world of CBD oils, tinctures, fruit chews, gummies, and beverages to choose from. If the application you produce doesn’t have the right texture, visual appeal, and – above all – flavor consistency, most consumers won’t hesitate on passing.

That’s why everything comes down to flavor. To create a stand-out CBD edible application, the flavors you use must leave a lasting impression on consumers.

What flavor profile are you going for?

Our fruit flavors are water soluble and top sellers for gummy manufacturers:

Our mint flavors are both water and oil soluble, and the oil-based flavors are top sellers for CBD tinctures. Most CBD tinctures are in an oil base, such as MCT, hemp seed oil, or olive oil.

Our citrus flavors are both water and oil soluble, and they are popular in both gummies and tinctures because of the intense flavor:

Our tropical fruit flavor is both water and oil soluble and popular in both gummies and tinctures.
