Thank you,. I followed your directions precisely. My first time for aloe leaf. I had no idea about the aloe leaf. You are a precious woman helping everyone out to keep us safe!
Hello, I just brought 4 aloe vera leaf to start a hair journey and needed to know how to store it not knowing how to clean it and so glad to have watched your video on how to clean and store it and want to thank you so much for this information. I going to do clean all of it to remove the latex and store in the freezer in freezer bags for future use. I really enjoyed your video, keep up the good work!!
Very glad that you found the method is useful to you. To avoid the latex and store in the freezer to save time are exactly what I wanted to offer and share
i guess im asking randomly but does anyone know a method to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot the password. I would love any help you can offer me
@Calvin Nathaniel thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and im trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
When I was visiting health spa in Mexico , they were blending aloe and pineapple or whatever you would like. He was removing jelly part with a spoon, no soaking. I have a Vietnamese here in CA and her mom who is over 80 looks like 50 and she eats aloe every day, no soaking. Does not argue about the yellow glue to be removed but it sounds like all the good vitamins , nutrition and enzymes are going to be gone after you cutting any fruit or vegetables/ within a few minutes/, that is why every cleansing spa recommend to cut everything just before you are ready to eat.......
Thank you so much for this video ♥️I learned today for the first time about the yellow latex in aloe and wanted to find if it was possible to remove it. And I also thank you for sharing how to store it after cleaning because I rush to use my aloe and sometimes it goes bad before I use it all.
I love your voice too. You do have a thick accent, but I understood every word. It is very soothing to listen to you even if I really have no intention of eating an aloe leaf. I have a plant that has, for some reason, some leaves that fell off in the last day or so. I was wondering what I should do with them since I don't have a burn but didn't want to waste them. They are nowhere near as big as yours though!
Thank you, for the care you took to explain how to clean and use Aloe. Thank you for caring enough to warn us of the dangers of over use; and the care to letting us know how to store it for future use.
Thank all comments from the reviewers. Please note that the yellow juice contains anthraquinone barbaloin. This is a strong laxative agent and can cause serious health complications if used too often. The white gel is the safest part of the aloe to take.
Thank you for this! I did not know you could freeze fresh also. I never soak like this though, as I want to retain the watery slime as much as possible, I think too much soaking will wash away the benefits :) but yes, the yellow sap causes some itching so I am careful to remove it. I just cut off the white end and let the yellow sap drain for 10 minutes or so, then wash the leaf again before processing. My method is similar, just no submerging in water. But I use mine mostly for hair and skin, not eating, so maybe it's better to be more thorough for consumption.
I froze my chunks in the freezer inside ice trays i know the aloe will stay fresh for ONE YEAR... and when I need a little aloe i take out one small chunk...fry it in a pinch of coarse salt till the moisture is evaporated.....I enjoy the little morsel and I know my gut will benefit its awesome healing.... for the hair I use the aloe gel and also castor Oil.... I massage in the aloe and oil,on my itchy scalp.....over night is preferable...i leave the aloe on my scalp for a few hours during the day hours...then shampoo and condition lower hair strands .....and my scalp feels refreshed..... I love it....and aloe plant will be in my life always and always....aloe has many many healthy benefits internal and out.... RU-vid has many different varieties on how to prepare and use aloe..... Aloe mixed with other oils or spices. Such as turmeric or Talaphala can stay fresh up to one month room temperature or in fridge for longer... I did the soaking of one giant alow leaf....chopped it up and let it sit in a water bath for a few hours..... The yallow tint of the water .. was proof enough the yellow sap was released ....I then did a quick rinse of the aloe gel in another water bath in and out....no need to soak another 20 minutes....... Its easy.... but this woman in video makes it a complete chore and hours and hours of prep..... GOOD .UCK.. STAY STRONG.. STAY SAFE
Excuse me I have been watching different ones I had a white washed yellow and you are the best one thank you very much for showing me the best poison I cut an aloe and it had yellow on it and I stopped and I thought I better look at this and I found you and I’m so happy I found you thank you
I don't want to use Aloe Vera for eating but just for skin treatment. I've used straight aloe juice from leaf on my facial skin overnight for a week and folks commented how great my skin looked after a week. I'd wash it off the next morning each day btw. A chemist told me this was probably because the aloe exfoliates the skin. Any I didn't know anything about how to prepare the plant, I just stored it in the fridge and used it as I needed it every night as I wrote for my skin only.
I agree. I was doing the same. God bless you for sharing that it should be soaked in this manner to prevent sickness. God spared my health the last time. Thank God for people like you.
Thanks for uploading this informative video. I'll be cutting my aloe vera up and soaking it just like you did. Throughout the video, I wondered to myself, "where is her accent from"; so I looked through the comments to see if anyone else wondered it and asked. Not that I could see, so I'm asking respectful, of course?
Best way to store that gel Would be scraped the gel out with a spoon into a bowl, Get your ice Tray From the freezer or wherever it is and start filling the holes with pure allo. Someone told me that technique and it works great because you don't have to open a bag every time and try to break off the mount you want because every amount in the ice tray is going to be somewhat the same. Lot it turns out is pop one out of guys tray and put it in my mouth and just let it melt and swallow it over time. You don't have to do it but I'm just saying is a whole I'm work inveniunt it's not going to harm the allo to just put the jail and ice trays
i think because, from what Iv'e read on the other aloe Vera videos, it has a latex of some kind. So for those who have allergens to latex, it can be considered poisonous...
Tiffany Thagard good comments and thanks. The yellow juice contains anthraquinone barbaloin. This is a strong laxative agent and can cause serious health complications if used too often. The white gel is the safest part of the aloe to take.

Thank you! I've used fresh aloe many times, but I never rinsed it as shown in the video. I just cut the large leaf in two and put the cut ends in water to let it "bleed" and then separated the center from the skin and blended the gel with water. I thought all of the gelatinous stuff was good, but never realized it could be tainted with "poison." I will try processing it using this method.
I personally say no do not you could get sick. When the aloe vera plant turns red it means it's rotting so if it's leaking red it probably means the same thing. This puzzled me too I even googled it and found nothing answer. Sorry I wasn't here 2 weeks ago but I'm still happy to help
Thank you so much for showing how to use and store aloe vera. I just need to confirm please - first soak 20 minutes, another soak for 20 minutes. Then the white gel is soaked for how many minutes? Or is it just washed in the water? Thank you!!
Thank you, I enjoyed the video, very informative,but yet I will see other videos saying you can put the entire leaf in the blender with juice and drink it,that sounds like it would be too strong on your system.
I believe that it depends on what you want to do with the gel. I had no idea that I suppose to wash first. From now on I will wash the portion that I want to eat only. I have never noticed that yellowish stuff she is referring to, well one learns something every day.
This is exactly that our method is different from most aloe processing methods, more scientific and careful. Every one’s body reacts food different and also quite often negative effects are gradually accumulated
If you're just planning to mash up the flesh for its gel, to use for cuts and burns, is this process needed? I kinda' feel like the health issues you listed wouldn't be a problem if the gel's to be used for external use only...
DaZebraffe agree with you, if just for cuts and burns, the cleaning process is not nectar needed. I use it for burns sometimes. Thanks for you comments
Thank you so much ❤️👌🏻👍🏻 I got it at the food store and my leaf is probably about same size as yours. I did not know any of that so I am glad I watched this video I thought I could eat as much as I wanted & I did not know I had to clean it either... I'm glad I saw this video... I would have ended up in the hospital probably. Thank you 💗
I found your video informative, but I do have a question: For time efficiency purposes, would it still remove the latex if I filet all the skin the first time around and just let the gel soak for an 1hr., rinse, and then store? I grow my own aloe, but it's the softer, white spotted type, and this is the first time I will using it for eating. I've mostly used it for cuts and burns.
It's only harmful if you do large doses for a prolonged period of time. People swear like if you eat a little latex your going to die. Just eat the inside from now on.
Aloe-vera does not contain any type of poison at all,actually,contrary to what she said,the yellow liquid dripping from the aloe,is good to eat,because the bitter taste entering your blood stream,makes anything within you that does not belong there come out,because they do not like the taste of it.My garden is filled with aloe plants,an I live in the Caribbean,born,born,raised and still lives here.
Totally agree. Growing up in Caribbean, I was told its the best part... Highly concentrated. Its good for cleansing and detox. Haven't heard of any incident concerning poisoning.
I knew Caribbean people use a lot of aloe. Please keep in mind that no one can sick doesn’t mean no poison at all. Carribean aloe variate May different from elsewhere, and Caribbean overall diet is different too.
I did some research on what you are saying, and the yellow portion can in fact be toxic to people. It can cause diarrhea and abdominal cramping over use can cause serious digestive issues in most people.
@@surgtechbae No it is not,I live in Barbados,and my family uses all of it to wash their hair.The best way to do that is to get a blender for that purpose,and blend it.Peel off the green skin,and allow all the slimy substance to go into the blender also,and if you want to,get some olive oil,or castor oil and mix both together,an you'll see the wonders of nature at work.There's another secret I have for you,you can mix it with orange or grapefruit juice as a manner of cleaning out your stomach of all toxins.
I just applied fresh aloe all over my self without washing or cleaning it at all and now my face is burning what should I do? I wish I saw this video 2 hours ago :(
Placing the aloe pieces in a single layer on a flat tray in the freezer first. When frozen add pieces to a freeze bag. Thank you for sharing your families knowledge.
Water not white because the leaf is green leaves a yellow tint yes cut off the end and get the yellow part but I think wash it well after and before then but the green part then should be ok I think
