For those wondering what to buy the weed-loving foodie on their holiday shopping list, life just got a little easier.
- JP Graziano Grocery has teamed up with NuEra Cannabis to create GiardinuEra ($14), a THC-infused version of Chicago's favorite salty, pickley and spicy condiment.
Dig in: "It's great on anything you would put traditional giardiniera on with the added bonus of elevating more than just the food," the grocery's owner Jim Graziano tells Axios.
Why it works: "Like the cannabis extract we use to infuse it, giardiniera is oil-based, so the product infuses very well and is readily absorbed by the body," nuEra's COO Laura Jaramillo Bernal says.
The dose: The 4-ounce jars contain about 25mg of THC, about as much as you'd find in a potent gummy.
Monica's verdict: I tried a small bite and didn't detect any weed flavors but felt a slight buzz for a few hours.
Find it at all Chicago-area NuEra stores and select locations around Illinois.
