How To Make Cannabis-Infused Guacamole

These benefits come from the main ingredient of guacamole – the avocado. Native to South Central Mexico, the fruit of the avocado tree has many positive traits. It has 18 essential amino acids, which qualify it as a complete protein. This protein is easier to digest than animal protein because of the avocados high fiber content. The fruit contains monounsaturated fats that raise your level of high-density lipoproteins which help reduce cholesterol and the risk of heart disease. And as if that isn't enough, avocados are a naturally perfect ingredient for making cannabis edibles. THC is fat-soluble, meaning that THC needs fattier food to be activated, which is the main reason behind all those high-fat, high sugar cookies and brownies. Avocado really does the trick concerning THCs need for fats and is a much healthier alternative.
