ReplyDeleteis the inner gel edible?
ReplyDeletehi friends Yes Inner Gel is also edible, but take care of original plant.
DeleteYes, the clear gel is edible as is the whole leaf. The clear gel is very palatable but the layer between that and the outer skin of the leaf is very bitter.
ReplyDeleteOne hour ago I ate a very tasty section of aloe root, with only a slightly bitter aftertaste. The question is: Will I still be on the planet twenty-four hours hence?
ReplyDeleteAre you still alive?
DeleteWhy ask the question after you ate it? lol. Go online and find out first.... apparently there are some serious 'silent' risks associated with eating it; you should take time to look this up yourself.
Deleteis aloe somaliensis edible?

DeleteWhere & how can one get this variety in India. Please give details if availabke.

DeleteAll Aloe Vera plant leaves we bought from neighbouring farmer were edible only because he was there for ages and families all around bought couple of leaves about a metre long from this farmer and used. I also wish to know how to identify the edible ones outside that farm house in my village. We could use its pulp to make a soupy vegetable by adding some potatoes. The only thing was that we soaked the pulp bits in salt for half an hour to get rid of the gluey stuff. You can pickle the leaf by chopping it in slices along with the green skin and bung these pieces in a jar with 20% cooking salt and bit of 'Ajwain' - aniseed. The pickle will shed some juice and the salt will remove its bitterness and gluey nature. Leaves will brownish on the outside in 30 days. Pickle is ready to eat as is. I miss that taste.
ReplyDeleteHow can I identify if my plant is edible;;;; Please help me!!
ReplyDeleteThis could be difficult as there are over 450 species. To be on the safe side we would recommend purchasing a plant from a reputable nursery if you want to eat it.
DeleteOh no.. I thought all aloe vera was edible.. I have several different kinds and hav eaten from 2 of the different kinds.. There is a 3rd kind
ReplyDelete. i havent eaten from yet bcoz they seem smaller and dufferent.. I was waiting for them to get bigger :(.. Are they all ok to put on your skin and what are the worst possible results from eating the unedible kind??
We've no idea if any of the other species are suitable for use on the skin or of the worst effects of imbibing any of them. It may just be an upset stomach but it's not worth the risk.
DeleteUse barbadenis Mill then you can';t go wrong, I have 50 plants in my greenhouse, and give them away with a leaflet giving lots of tips. Everything you need to know is on the internet. Eat it, wash with it, stop the dog from scratching, it just goes on and on. Get your plant, you'll love it, and it will love you back.
