■ Eating aloe vera is exquisite.
Aloe is very popular now. Not only do restaurants have aloe dishes, but many women who love beauty also plant aloe on their balconies for their own use at any time. In this regard, nutritionists said: Aloe vera is good, but we should also pay attention to methods and appropriate amounts.
Aloe contains a variety of carbohydrates, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and other ingredients, with high nutritional value. After being eaten by human body, it can not only supplement trace elements, but also play the role of clearing away heat, expelling toxin and caring skin. There are many ways to eat aloe, such as making aloe into salad, cooking aloe with meat, and adding aloe as raw material to soup. These practices are widely used in restaurants, but if you eat at home, you can peel aloe directly, wash it with clear water, and then blanch it with boiling water, which is relatively simple. If you are interested, you can also juice aloe, add sugar and drink it together. The prepared aloe juice can be stored in the refrigerator 1 to 2 days.
However, the more aloe you eat, the better it is for your health. There is a moderate problem. Aloe vera is cold. If you eat too much, you will vomit and diarrhea. The general standard is no more than 15g per person per day. Pregnant women, the elderly and children should be more cautious when eating aloe.
Also, not all aloe vera is suitable for eating. If you buy aloe vera and grow it at home, you must explain it to the supplier, and they will introduce you to the edible aloe vera.
■ Aloe peel, don't overdo it.
Aloe dinner, aloe juice etc. Emphasize a healthy diet based on aloe. Because aloe skin contains emodin that can easily cause diarrhea, don't eat aloe for a long time, even if you eat it, peel it.
Aloe vera used to be thought to have a cosmetic effect, but it is actually an external herbal medicine, not an edible food. In recent years, aloe is considered to have anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects, so it is advocated to list aloe as a healthy food with cosmetic and external use functions. The so-called aloe meal and aloe juice are very popular with consumers.
Because emodin contained in aloe skin will cause diarrhea, some people regard it as a holy product to lose weight. It should be noted that, according to an animal study done by the medical community, mice taking aloe vera for a long time, especially emodin in aloe vera skin, will cause gastric cancer. Therefore, it is recommended to eat aloe peel.
At present, there is no strict human experimental research report on edible aloe in China. It is suggested that aloe vera should not be taken for a long time, and it should never be taken in excess. At the same time, young children and pregnant women should be prohibited from taking aloe vera to avoid adverse consequences.
Question 2: Can I eat aloe at home? What kind of aloe can I eat? How come? There are more than 500 species of ornamental aloe, but only a dozen species can be used as medicine, and few species can be eaten. Most experts who study aloe are cautious about aloe. Professor Zhu Liangfeng from South China Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences recently tested the juice of Aloe vera, and concluded that it is non-toxic, teratogenic and mutagenic. In other words, the peeled fresh leaves of aloe can be eaten as food. In addition, aloe cultivated by Shanghai Agricultural College is also edible. As an ornamental plant, aloe vera is generally not used as medicine. For example, Aloe vera, a city that never sleeps, has beautiful flowers and is called noble aloe vera. For example, dried aloe vera, also known as Cui Hua palm, has bright red flowers and irregular white stripes on its leaves, which is very beautiful. These two kinds of aloe are ornamental plants, which can't be eaten or used as medicine. In Japan, there are aloe cuttlefish fried tomatoes, aloe scrambled eggs, aloe salad, aloe noodles and so on. On 1995 China Guangzhou Food Festival, Guangzhou Restaurant and Panxi Restaurant introduced aloe dishes, such as ham stewed aloe, ham stewed aloe and Sibao aloe soup. Stewed aloe with ham in Guangzhou restaurant is especially popular with many gourmets. In the past two years, the fashion of eating aloe has also emerged in Northeast China, but aloe is only used as a side dish and must be peeled. It is forbidden to eat aloe during pregnancy and menstrual period. Professor Yang Jianrong from Institute of Vegetables and Flowers, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences reminds us that we must be careful when eating aloe. Aloe rhein contained in aloe has a laxative effect, and eating too much will inevitably lead to diarrhea. Pan, a young woman in Tianjin, has been worried about acne on her face. I heard that eating aloe is useful. She went to the market and bought three plants. First, she squeezed juice at home, and then she ate the mesophyll of three aloe plants in one breath. Results She suffered from abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea in the middle of the night, accompanied by hematemesis and bloody stool, and was rescued. At present, the research shows that aloe has the function of clearing away heat and toxic materials, and has its unique curative effect in anti-cancer and beauty. However, different varieties of aloe have great differences in medicinal properties and efficacy, and people with different constitutions will have different effects when using aloe. Although aloe can be eaten, not everyone can eat it casually. People and children with weak constitution should not eat more, otherwise they may be allergic, and their skin will be red, swollen and rough, even nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Pregnant women and menstruating women are forbidden to use aloe, because aloe will make women's internal organs congested and promote uterine contraction. Pregnant women and menstruating women can easily cause abdominal pain and lower body bleeding. People with hemorrhoid bleeding and nosebleeds should not take aloe either, otherwise it will aggravate the condition. health.2 1/....shtml

Question 3: Can I eat my own aloe? How come?
Question 4: Can aloe be eaten at home? There are only a few kinds of edible aloe, but aloe as an ornamental plant can't be used as medicine or eaten, such as aloe and Cui Hua palm. Aloe vera, which is eaten as a vegetable, still has a certain limit and must be peeled.
Aloe vera is also called aloe vera or aloe vera. Each plant has 12 ~ 15 leaves in a spiral arrangement. The leaves are thick and juicy, pink and green with white spots. With the growth of the leaves, the spots gradually disappear and spiny teeth appear around the leaves. Features: It can be used in medicine, beauty and food. Its raw juice, concentrated juice and crystalline powder can be used as raw materials for various health foods. Because it is rich in gum, it has a very significant effect on skin health care and beauty, so it is often used as a raw material for beauty cosmetics.
Aloe arborescens, also known as Xiao Mu Aloe, also known as Japanese Aloe, wood blade Aloe and Tree Aloe, is named after its shape like an upright tree. The leaves are gray-green, thin and long, with little gum content. Besides being eaten raw and juiced, they are also suitable for making edible family dishes, and can also be processed into healthy food or cosmetics.
Question 5: Can domestic aloe be eaten? See what kind. Aloe Vera, China Aloe Vera and Arboretum Aloe Vera are all acceptable. If you can't judge, send a picture.
Question 6: Can domestic aloe directly wipe your face? Personal constitution is different, you are allergic to aloe vera,
People with allergic constitution (with allergic history) are generally allergic to aloe, and some people who are not allergic are allergic to aloe. The more natural aloe vera is, the more likely it is to cause allergies.
Because there is a viscous liquid called emodin between aloe leaf skin and aloe gel (translucent substance after peeling aloe skin), it is yellow and bitter. Has the effects of expelling toxin, relaxing bowels, and regulating intestines and stomach. It is also a sharp weapon for aloe to repel insects and a very important part of aloe. If used, it is also very beneficial to the human body.
But emodin can cause skin allergy. Emodin has a * * effect on the skin, so we apply fresh aloe leaves directly to our face, which will make us feel acupuncture. What's more, some girls use emodin as aloe juice to paint their faces, and the consequences can be imagined. Of course, it will greatly increase the chance of allergies.
Most emodin has been removed from aloe cosmetics during processing, but due to different removal degrees, some of them still have some residues, which can also cause allergies.
In fact, the aloe juice we usually say exists in the gel, and the yellow mucus we see after opening the leaf skin is emodin.
If we use fresh aloe leaves or aloe juice for beauty, it should be like this:
Take a fresh aloe leaf for more than a year, remove the thorns on both sides, and then remove the upper and lower skins of the leaf, so that we can get the gel, rinse the gel with clear water for about half a minute (because emodin only exists between the aloe leaf skin and the gel, there is no emodin in the gel, so it can be washed off in half a minute), and then cut the gel into thin slices and apply it to your face. If conditions permit, change it every ten minutes, and it will have unexpected beauty effects ~ ~ ~
As for aloe skin, it is valuable to eat, but it is useless for beauty. Throw it away!

According to the prescription of traditional Chinese medicine, the oral dose of aloe is generally not more than 5g, and the toxic dose is 9- 15g. Poisoning symptoms usually appear within 8- 12 hours. Mild people often have symptoms of digestive system, such as nausea, vomiting, severe diarrhea, abdominal pain, acute diarrhea, hemorrhagic gastritis and so on. In severe cases, due to its strong * * effect on the kidney, it can lead to poisoning.
