Can aloe vera be eaten with the skin boiled?

Most people think that aloe vera is a plant. In fact, aloe vera is edible and has certain beauty effects. Many people want to know whether aloe vera can be eaten with the skin boiled. Generally speaking, when people eat aloe vera, they eat the pulp inside the aloe vera.

1. Aloe Vera Amount

When preparing dishes with multiple main and auxiliary ingredients, the main ingredient should be emphasized and aloe vera leaf pulp should be added as an auxiliary ingredient. Japanese aloe vera experts recommend a daily dosage of Japanese aloe vera, which varies greatly from person to person. The standard dosage is generally 15 grams of raw leaves per day, and 0.6 grams of dried leaves or powder. The maximum upper limit is 10 times the standard dosage based on the ingredients. The daily limit for patients with constipation is twice, or even three or four times the standard amount. The daily limit for patients with diarrhea is about half of the standard amount. As long as you don’t have diarrhea, the effect of taking more will be much more obvious, and there will be no side effects if you take it continuously.

2. How to eat

When eating aloe vera, you should choose its leaf pulp part. When removing the aloe vera skin, the bitter substances in the aloe vera are also removed. Burn the mesophyll part of the leaves for a few minutes to remove the medicinal smell from the surface and the junction of the mesophyll, and then it can be used as food. The surface of the leaf pulp is sticky and contains a lot of viscous and gelatinous substances. The raw materials can be cut into shreds, slices, strips, blocks, segments, grains, and other forms with fine knife skills. This is not only convenient for cooking and seasoning, but also makes the dishes look beautiful.

3. Proper eating is important

When eating aloe vera, you should pay attention to the different physical constitutions of the people eating it, as well as the type of aloe vera, the processing method and the amount of consumption. It is best to cut the white aloe vera gel into small pieces after removing the leaf skin of the aloe vera, blanch it in boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes, and then cook it after removing the soup. Controlling the amount of aloe vera consumed mainly means controlling the amount of aloe-emodin consumed to no more than 14.2 mg. For the first time consumption, start with a small amount. You can consume 20 to 40 grams of processed gel (about 3 to 5 cm of aloe leaf flesh). If there are no adverse gastrointestinal reactions after consumption, the dosage can be gradually increased. If you want to eat it with the skin, you should start with a small amount after your stomach and intestines have adapted to the leaf flesh. Do not consume too much for a long time. The amount of food consumed varies from person to person. Please use your own gastrointestinal reaction as a reference and avoid consuming too much at one time.
