The Sweet Potato and Nutrition:
The sweetness of the sweet potato can help bring balance to Pitta dosha. But as a root vegetable, it also provides a grounding effect for Vata dosha.
However, taken in moderation, sweet potatoes can also please the pallet of a strong Kapha type as well.
They contain a lot of fiber and feel light in the stomach.
Sweet potatoes are also rich in:
- B vitamins
- Vitamin C
- Calcium
- Iron
- Magnesium
- Phosphorus
- Potassium
- Thiamin
- Zinc
Note: *Some methods of cooking, like baking, roasting, and frying, can raise their glycemic index and cause blood sugar to spike. If you have type 2 diabetes, talk to your doctor or a dietitian about how to safely include this veggie in your meals.
Before You Begin
Before you begin: If you are infusing your recipe, you’ll need to decide if you want to use hemp flower for more CBD effects or cannabis flower for more THC effects during decarboxylation.
No worries, as in all infused recipes, you can use either of them or a bit of both if it suits you!
A Note On Decarboxylation
Although raw cannabinoids have their own valuable medicinal qualities, without decarbing the flower or plant material for the infusion, cannabinoids (like THCA, and CBDA) will likely remain in their inactive acid states.
When infusing recipes, you may want to take the extra step of decarboxylation first, especially if you want the activated form of CBD or (the psychoactive effects) of your THC meds to be present.
If you are not familiar with this process, here are links for how to decarboxylate your Hemp Flower or Cannabis Flower.
Note: You can skip the decarboxylation process if you only want the raw cannabinoid benefits without THC/CBD activation.
