This fresh Aloe vera leaf is easy to fillet because it’s large. Simply cut off the sides (where the spikes are) and both ends using a sharp knife. Then, use a metal spatula, a large butter knife, or any flat, blunt object similar to remove the remaining Aloe vera leaf skin at the top and bottom. Soak Aloe vera fillets for 10 minutes or longer in a jar with preferably purified water. Repeat soak and rinse until the naturally occurring bitter taste disappears.

The most simple way to use Aloe vera is by applying it to skin that’s sunburned or damaged. Simply cut a 1.5 inch wide cross-section with a knife. Then, cut that cross-section down the middle through the gel, so that you have green skin on one side and Aloe vera gel on the other.

Aloe vera gel is very popular for its moisturizing and cooling properties (among other benefits) for sunburn relief, scars, skin problems, rejuvenating the skin, stomach and digestive problems, etc. Internally it can be taken in the form of a Aloe smoothie, which are sold in stores, but you’ll be able to make your own that’s organic, raw, vegan, and pure! Internally it is known to treat digestive system problems.*

Aloe vera contains polysaccharides that are beneficial to the human body in addition to the vitamins it contains. Aloe vera can be used as a purgative and laxative, as well, if the yellow bitter liquid on the inside is not rinsed out prior to internal use.*

Aloe vera will produce little babies, which can be transplanted into separate pots or garden. So, you will have an unlimited FREE supply of this wonderful plant!

Care is easy! Most important thing is NOT to overwater! Aloe vera is a succulent, so overwatering will “melt it.” Aloe vera likes mostly dry, well-draining soil, full sun or shade AND warm temperature. In colder climates people often grow it indoors, which is convenient, since it’s always within a hand’s reach.
