I have a very large aloe vera plant that I have been growing for several years. It is getting over-large for it's pot, and because of the weather it can't be planted outdoors, etc.
Is there some way I can process it? How should I use it up, since I don't want to waste it? Dan It shouldn't be too hard to just use it up fresh. Along with ginger, cayenne and garlic, aloe vera is one of the most commonly distributed superfoods. It is great for pretty much every facet of human health. Aloe vera helps oxygenate the blood. It makes some antioxidants stronger, functions as one of the safest Anti-Inflammatories you can take. It's certainly not just for burns and cosmetic products. I read an article where the world's oldest house cat was given a little aloe in his food everyday. We used to give our cat aloe too when she got old and found it hard to move around. Often, it seemed to make a big difference. You just scrape out the raw gel from the leaf and take it straight or put it in a smoothie or applesauce or what have you. My next article is actually going to be about polysaccharides in aloe and certain mushrooms. Aloe is really very complex in its chemical makeup with it's nutritional content. Mike Adams, the health ranger has a lot to say about it. Much of it is even a bit controversial to me but he takes an unusually large amount in his own diet and has only praise for it for darn near every major epidemic ailment. Most people taking it regularly only take a few tablespoons one or two times a day but even at that, it probably won't take long to shrink your aloe plant down. Plus, it's great for the immune system. The list goes on and on. Great stuff, I hope you try it.
