Thank you so very much for this video… There is so many out there that are not aware of this proper procedure that is a must!!! to make aloe vera safe for everyone that would like to consume it for its beneficial properties. When it is not properly prepared it can take out your kidneys and your liver>the latex in the yellow gel/sap… I had to learn this the hard way. Once it is there it does not come out.

Ahhhhaa!! Now this makes so much sense! First video to demonstrate the process so precisely and simply! The three parts, and the washing in water and the cubing - I always wondered how that is done!!

What are the health benefits? Are there any side effects?😅😅

Is there a certain variety of aloe vera that we can and cannot consume? I love your video for its straightforwardness, easy to follow steps and super informative clips.

[@TheAloeVeraGarden]

Many of the Aloe species are not consumed because they don't have much gel inside their leaves. They are not commercially viable that is why people thought they cannot be eaten. There are however a few poisonous Aloes, but they grow in the wild in Kenya.

[@stellamurungi923]

very helpful guide, quite precise too.Kudos for this wonderful video

[@johnnyd2682]

Nice vid. I added the gel to a smoothie without soaking it at all. I took one sip and felt like I stuck my finger in an outlet 😂 that bitterness from the residual latex was really something else.

[@TheAloeVeraGarden]

hahahaha!

[@orilion1820]

I read today that the latex is poisonous in large amounts and that along with the bad taste you described is why it's important to rinse it.

I blended aloe vera gel, added coconut milk and drops of lavender. I use it for my face and hair. It's working great! But The mixture turned pinkish. Do you know if that was the reaction to the milk or lavender I put in?

[@TheAloeVeraGarden]

Thanks for sharing :) The mixture turned pinkish because the Aloe vera gel oxidizes. This usually happens if the latex is not completely removed from the gel, but the gel is still safe.

[@mysewcalledlife6531]

[@erikbullard2289]

Thank you for the best instructions. Straight to the point. Can this be stored in a container in the fridge or should it be kept in water once cut?

[@TheAloeVeraGarden]

I would suggest not to extract the gel if you're not going to consume it right away. The leaf can last up to a month with the gel inside.

[@riseyourvibration9669]

[@TheAloeVeraGarden]

[@creamcheese271]

Awesome video! How do you store the aloe in the fridge?

[@olgalie]

Great video. But why to use a spoon(non sharp object) to remove gel from outer layer? I use a knife and cut about 1mm away from the outer layer so I about Latex and other things of the 2nd layer. If I do with a knife and distance from the outer layer I don't have to put the gel in the water (the last part of the video) as there is only gel. Right?

[@TheAloeVeraGarden]

I prefer a spoon because it's easier for me than using a knife. It's easier for me to control as it glides through the inner leaf without cutting the outer leaf. When you cut cross the Aloe vera, there's a higher chance that the latex may flow on the side of the exposed gel, so I'd still prefer to wash the gel with water.

[@MISSYMINX261]

If I want to use on my skin, how long can I keep in the refrigerator? and do I blend the gel and store it like that in the refrigerator?

Some people do it eat alongside with the gel as it has nutrients too that are not found in the gel. Some companies are selling whole leaf juice which include the other skin. Personally, I haven't tried it.

Will there be any problem if I directly consume the aloe gel without keeping it in water.... ? Like directly cut it from the plant , scoop out the aloe gel and eat it. I have heared that consuming Aloe latex can cause health problems... so I am a bit scared.... Can you please help me out?

[@TheAloeVeraGarden]

No, the latex in one leaf can't harm you. You have to eat lots of it before it can affect you. The not so good side about eating it directly is the bitter taste.

[@snowycrystalz101]

is it necessary to wait for the aloe leaf to grow very big before cutting the leaf to use the gel? Is it safe to eat the gel from a much smaller aloe vera plant?

Yes, you can use smaller leaves. You don't have to wait for the aloe vera to grow big.

Is there a minimum size? I think I heard somewhere 12cm? Otherwise the gel might not be suitable/safe?

Even though I wash properly still that clear gel Tastes a little bitter, so can I eat it regularly in this way?

[@corasantos4872]

@csj2500. I am just seeing your post now...... My heartburns was extremely severe. It would last two to three days. I started taking Aloev Vera three times a day, in the morning before eating and drinking coffee. Then, at lunch before eating and before having dinner. I was very careful with my diet in the beginning for about one week. Didn’t have strong coffee, mostly milk. Didn’t eat tomatoes, oranges, tomato sauce, or anything that would cause my heartburn. I no longer can eat oranges, tangerines, and pineapples, which I love. I can eat a few pieces of tomatoes with other food, like in a sandwich. I can eat a little tomato sauce with meat. But I add carrots, celery, and lots of ground beef. Now I take in the morning, and if I eat something that I think may cause a heartburn for me, suck as something fried. I take it before I eat that particular food.

It can last up to a month and you can use it for skin and hair. I don't recommend using Aloe vera for juicing if it is already over 2 days old in the refrigerator. If you have so many leaves and you would like them for juicing, don't remove the gel from the leaf and place the leaves in a cool dry place, it can last very long.
