When someone mentions edibles, our minds go straight to the classics including brownies, chocolate or gummies.
Besides being cannabis-infused, the items mentioned above have something else in common – they are not traditionally vegan! Edibles are usually made with dairy products or gelatin.
Being vegan is not always easy, especially when the market for vegan-friendly products is still pretty slim. However, in the last few years, we have seen various food & drink industries responding to the demand for vegan products.
Canada’s Interest in the Vegan Lifestyle
In Canada, there has been a 113 % increase in vegan and plant-based related searches since 2016. In particular, British Columbia and Ontario are the leading provinces for these searches.
The number of people who are interested or actively adopting the vegan lifestyle is more popular than ever across Canada. As well, the younger generations are the ones who are more likely to be interested in veganism or a vegetarian lifestyle.
The younger generations are also the ones who are consuming the most cannabis products. A survey conducted by Health Canada in 2019 showed that 51% of people aged 20 – 24 consumed cannabis in the last 12 months, double what 25-year-olds and older (21%) are consuming.
This increase in popularity has led to more demand for vegan-friendly cannabis products in Canada.
How Cannabis Edibles Are Made Vegan
As a substitute for gelatin, pectin is often used vegan gummies. Pectin is a fibrous component that is usually extracted from citrus fruits.
Aside from being better for animal welfare, pectin produces edible gummies that are higher-quality, taste better and have a better texture.
