That\u2019s right! However, before you can enjoy the health benefits of eating aloe vera, you need to properly prepare the leaves to remove the latex, which contains compounds that can be irritating to the digestive system. Here\u2019s a simple guide on how to do it safely and store aloe vera for future use.\n

Preparing aloe vera for consumption may seem like a bit of work, but it\u2019s worth it for the health benefits. Whether you\u2019re using it to enhance your smoothies, as a digestive aid, or even topically, ensuring you properly remove the aloin makes aloe vera a safe and versatile addition to your wellness routine.
