The avocado, the main ingredient in guacamole, possesses many health benefits. This fruit of the avocado tree originates in southern and central Mexico and has many positive properties. An avocado contains 18 essential amino acids, making it considered complete protein. These proteins can be digested more easily than animal proteins because the avocado contains much more fiber. The fruit also contains monounsaturated fats, which help increase your levels of high-density lipoproteins, which in turn help lower your cholesterol and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. And if that’s not enough: Avocados are the perfect ingredients for making cannabis edibles. THC is soluble in fat, which means THC needs fatty foods to be activated, which is also the reason for all those fatty, sugar-rich cookies and brownies. Avocado is a perfect alternative when it comes to the amount of fat needed for THC. Now that you’ve read all this, you’re probably itching to get started in the kitchen, so we’ll move on quickly. Cannabis will be added to the dish in the form of cannabis olive oil, so we will discuss that first.
