Cannabis-Infused Giardiniera Comes To IL

CHICAGO — Illinoisans can enjoy their Italian beef topped with a little THC thanks to a collaboration between nuEra Cannabis and J.P. Graziano Grocery Co.

The iconic sub shop teamed up with the cannabis retailer to create GiardinuEra, a new take on the classic Chicago condiment giardiniera.

“Perfect for heat seekers and flavor adventurers alike, this condiment adds a zesty kick to any dish, from sandwiches and salads to pasta and pizzas,” according to a marketing email about the new offering. “Fresh veggies and spices combine with high quality lab-tested cannabis extract to ensure consistency and quality in every bite without altering J.P. Graziano’s signature taste.”

A 2-ounce jar is infused with 25 milligrams of THC and costs $14. It is available at all nuEra retail locations and other select dispensaries in Illinois.
