Aloe vera is the safest to consume. Generally, a person can eat about 30 grams of fresh leaves a day without any problem, and 10 to 20 grams a day is safer for people with a weak constitution.

2. Aloe Vera Curacao

The leaves of Aloe Curaçao are very thick and edible. However, its skin contains a lot of aloin, so it is important to eat the skin separately from the gel.

3. Aloe vera woodlark

The gel contained inside the leaves of Aloe vera is directly edible after the outer skin is peeled off. And the leaves are rich in nutrients whether they are fried or directly squeezed and drunk so that they can supplement the nutrients needed by the body.
