Distillate is a refined plant extract in the form of a translucent oil. It has been stripped of all unwanted plant materials, resulting in a highly concentrated extraction that is sought after for its potency and versatility in various applications. Distillate serves as the foundation for many commercially available edibles, offering a neutral taste and aroma. The production of distillate involves a meticulous distillation process that separates specific compounds from the original plant material, resulting in a pure and concentrated oil.

Distillate can range in purity from 75% to 98% (usually closer to the latter). Typically, distillate comes in 1 mL (or 1 gram) syringes. The total amount of active ingredient in your syringe can be calculated by multiplying the purity by the weight. For example, 98% x 1g = 980mg per 1 mL syringe or 980mg/mL. Use this value as the potency when using the dose calculator in this recipe. 

First and foremost, making your own gummies grants you full control over the potency and dosage of your creations. You can tailor the amount of plant extract to suit your needs and combine multiple extracts in ratios and dosages that you typically can not find in stores. 

Creating your own gummies using distillate also offers a cost-effective alternative to purchasing pre-made products. By taking matters into your own hands, you can save money in the long run and ensure the quality of the ingredients you use. 

Convenience: Save time during preparation and eliminate the need for trial and error. The mix has been formulated, measured and tested to ensure consistent results with a simple preparation method (mix, heat and pour - all in the same container). 

Accuracy in Dosing: A measured gummy mix paired with a custom gummy mold lets you know exactly how many gummies each batch will produce. This allows you to accurately determine the amount of active ingredient in each gummy, ensuring consistency in potency. 

Emulsification: The gummy mix contains just the right amount of natural emulsifier (sunflower lecithin) to make sure your precious active ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batch.  The gentle heating process is also tailored to aid in the emulsification of your herbal extracts.

Texture: It took many test batches to refine the formula of the mix to produce a gummy with superior texture and the perfect chew. 

While there is an extra cost associated with a pre-packaged gummy mix, a "from-scratch" jello recipe is not without costs. You still have to source and purchase the jello, gelatine, and lecithin. One botched batch leads to additional active ingredient purchases, negating any savings you may have gained. The gummy mix is a quick, easy-to-use, fool-proof solution that ensures results.

Typical jello-style gummy recipes result in random dosages and inconsistently distributed herbal extracts. At Maestrodose, hundreds of test batches went into designing an easy-to-use gummy mix that yields delicious, consistent, perfectly textured gummies every batch!
