OUR STORY
Welcome To Chef For Higher
Chef For Higher is New York’s first culinary brand in cannabis. Founded, established and cultivated in NY for this moment in the medicinal plant movement. CFH uses the universal language of food to normalize the use of cannabinoids as an essential for optimal human health and holistic well-being.
Ghee
GHEE
GHEE, or clarified butter, is an ancient superfood synonymous with Ayuverda. The removal of milk solids makes it lactose free and gives it a high smoke point which makes it great for cooking. It is shelf stable product, refrigeration not necessary.
HONEY
HONEY
Honey has been used for its nutritional value since ancient times. Taking one spoonful every day can have numerous benefits to your health. Use it as a sweetener in your beverages (tea/coffee/smoothies), in sauce recipes, at night before bed or when you have a cold. Especially good for anyone who wants a smokeless experience.
COCO OIL
COCO OIL
Our COCO is organic, unrefined and provides high bioavailability which makes it a great carrier for cannabinoids. Coconut oil helps to boost your immune system, strengthens bones and gums (oil pulling) and reduces inflammation. In the kitchen, it’s a 1:1 vegan replacement for butter and is great for baking and sautéing. You can even use it for topical applications!
EVOO
EVOO
Our first press EVOO is organic and unrefined. A spoonful of extra virgin olive oil has many health benefits. EVOO is high in monounsaturated fats, antioxidants and vitamins, as well as a dietary supplement that does wonders for skin and hair. Use it on hot and cold dishes as a finishing oil or incorporate into your favorite recipes.
GUMMIES
GUMMIES
The GUMMIES are Chef For Higher’s first product and everyone’s favorite! A classic 5-ingredient recipe using kosher beef gelatin and comes in tropical flavors. Trust, you will taste and feel the difference.
JELLIES
JELLIES
It’s like taking a bite of a fruit at peak ripeness. Hand-crafted in small batches, these pectin-based jellies are made with real tropical fruit, no added colors or flavoring. Take care not to eat the whole bag at once, they’re that good!
