Aloe Vera Can Eat

[ILP]

So mi was in the produce aisles at the market this evening and see the produce manager putting out Aloe Leaves. He was right proud of himself. He mussi peep mi looking at him and said, "Think I'm putting this in the wrong place, huh?" Then he went on to say that he's been fighting to have Aloe stocked for months and he was just so proud off himself for being the first chain in the area to carry it in the produce section.

So oonu exotic eaters Jazz, SueSumba, Gungo....please to rope in ahn talk di tings now. What am I missing with cooked Aloe.

well i dunno bout cooking it, but drinking it mixed up and blended as a juice, it helps digestion & is good for stomach ailments, constipation, and especially irritable bowel syndrome - does all kinda good things for your insides...

Re: Aloe Vera Can Eat

yah, and it tastes horrible too - but mixed with other strong juices like cranberry or pomegranate, you don't much notice, it goes down easy <span style="font-style: italic">peasie</span> and ya hardly taste it. there is also prepared &amp; bottled aloe juice you can buy at the health markets - but it's just as easy to use it fresh and mix it with something. some people blend it all together til it's smooth, others just cut up into little pieces, drop em into a glass of juice and drink it all down in a gulp.

a salad dressing vinaigrette <span style="font-style: italic">does</span> sound like a good idea too

Re: Aloe Vera Can Eat

correct me if am wrong....but I believe the aloe grown in jamaica has a completely different taste from the aloe grown say in Canada. I have had aloe (picked right from a yard in jamaica) blended with other fruits in jamaica....so come back to B.C. and buy the aloe and go home and make it with the same fruits.....does not taste the same.

Jamaican family members visited and they blended too with the aloe and they also say our aloe taste different

My grandmother used to give it to directly out the leaf.

I understand that it is supposed to be good for you, she lived to a ripe old age, I should probably be taking it now, but I feel about it like some people do about castor oil.

I have been watching those bottles in the health food store funny, bought one, and never opened it.

Maybe mixing it in with something would change my opinion. The salad dressing or vinaigrette sounds like a good idea.
