We bought some edible aloe at a Latin American grocery store, but there was definitely a bitter aftertaste to the raw aloe. I think the biggest factor in whether your aloe is going to absorb the lime and sugar (we actually used honey) when cooking is surface area. You’ll notice that the smaller chunks taste great long before the bigger chunks lose their bitterness. Taking the time to dice your aloe nice and small will increase the surface area and will go a long way toward giving you a sweet, tangy dish with no bitterness.

Hi all, firstly i love aloe vera. Great recipe by the way. Although it sounds like alot of sugar and to get the real benefits from aloe you probably wanna take it in the raw form as cooking it depletes nutrients. Also you have to take leaves from older plants (3-4 years old) for it to have the compounds. The young leaves tend to be bitter. Hope this helps. When yoi’re feeling run down or sick it really boosts your immune system.

I found that pureeing the aloe with pineapple juice to be quite tasty. Adding a tropical kick while the sugar takes away the bitter, “green” plant taste.

I have an Amazon parrot who came into my care almost 3 years ago with liver damage, malnutrition gout. I rub the juice from an aloe leaf on his feet nightly & “he“ loves to take bites to eat from the narrow ends. This has helped tremendously. I will definitely try this recipe for both of us.

I have used the aloe plant my entire life. I love it and firmly believe that it is a medicinal plant that can used for and in many different ways. I am eager to learn how to use it more in recipes. While your poached aloe in yogurt sounds delightful, it seems to me that a cup of sugar sabotages the health benefits of the aloe. I would suggest using Agave instead.

Yes you should harvest it early in the morning and or late at night.. The leaves closest to the ground are the best.

Nope, the skin is very bitter and fibrous.
