How To Make Cannabis-Infused Guacamole
When it comes to dips, guacamole is the average person go-to choice. Refreshing, nutritious and a perfect addition to every party or get together, guacamole is a great dish with many health benefits.
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.
Now you probably can't wait to start cooking after reading this, so let's get started. Cannabis will be added in the dish by means of basic cannabis olive oil, which we will cover first.
