Got Questions About CBD Kief? — Check Out This Guide To Hemp Kief

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:26:06 GMT

Kief is the crown jewel of the cannabis plant. This ultra-potent powder from the tips of marijuana nugs has played a central role in many cannabis products, especially hash blocks. While kief is still widely associated with THC-containing weed, it has become more fashionable in CBD circles. Indeed, it’s getting easier for hemp fans to find CBD kief in many pre-made products.So, how does CBD kief compare with cannabis kief? Will hemp-derived kief significantly alter a CBD user’s experience?What Does “CBD Kief” Mean?In cannabis culture, “kief” refers to the tips of the cannabinoid-rich trichomes on a marijuana strain’s buds.

TasteFood: A hot pink hummus makeover

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:26:06 GMT

It’s time to dress up for the holidays. While this certainly applies to our wardrobes, here we are talking about hummus. Hummus is a party favorite, easy to make in advance and unfailingly popular. It’s also very beige in color. This recipe gives the dependable Levantine chickpea-and-tahini dip a holiday makeover, infusing it with a jolt of color and a sprinkle of bling to usher in the festive season.For that task, look no further than the humble beet root. Beet roots are sweet and earthy, packed with fiber, vitamins and nutrients, and, for the sake of a party, they are decidedly not beige. Their brilliant fuchsia flesh lends vibrance and extra depth of flavor (not to mention healthy antioxidants) to the hummus, elevating it to take center stage in your appetizer spread.Other sweet and colorful root vegetables, such as carrots or sweet potatoes, can be substituted for the beets. Roast the sweet potatoes until tender, then peel. If using carrots, peel them first and then ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:26:06 GMT

DEAR JOAN: I’m planning on adopting a cat next year. I’ve always wanted a calico cat, so I’ll be looking for one. I just think their coloring is so pretty and unique.My friend and next door neighbor told me that if I get a calico, it will be a female. I wasn’t looking specifically for a male or female, just a happy, beautiful cat, but now I’m wondering – are all calico cats really female?My friend said if anyone ever found a male calico, they’d be rich because they could use it to breed more male calicos. That didn’t sound quite right to me.Can you tell me the real story?— Natalie, OaklandDEAR NATALIE: Your friendly neighbor is sort of right, but since you asked, here’s the full story, explained by someone who only got a B+ in biology. I would have gotten an A, but I couldn’t bring myself to collect any more insects for the class project.Part of the calico-ness of calico cats is dependent on the sex. Like in humans, females have two XX chromosomes, and males have the XY. A cal...

Cupertino sees its first “builder’s remedy” project

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:26:06 GMT

A Bay Area developer is invoking the “builder’s remedy” in Cupertino with plans to demolish three commercial buildings and erect a five-story apartment complex in its place.Acclaim Companies submitted its application in late September through the provision of a state housing law that allows developers to build projects larger than local zoning laws typically allowed in cities that haven’t received approval on state-mandated housing plans.Located at 20015 Stevens Creek Blvd., the project will include 141 units — with 20% of them affordable as dictated by the “builder’s remedy” — and two floors of underground parking. The development is estimated to be 70 feet tall, which is 25 feet higher than what the lot is zoned for.“The city reviews and responds to applications in a timely manner, and is committed to responding to this project just as efficiently,” Deputy City Manager Tina Kapoor said in a statement. “The cit...
