Aloe Vera – Who Knew?

in China, Food

You Can Eat It, Too!

Filed under weird but wonderful – I give you Minute Maid grape juice with aloe vera:

A new juice variety – the aloe comes as little floaty bits

I don’t know why we don’t eat aloe vera in the US, but it is freaking delicious in yogurt and juice! It is very common to find it here and although I was uncertain at first, I love it now. This juice is a little bit too sweet for me, but I love the squishy, gelatinish aloe bits floating around in it. The DH thinks the aloe is a little like melon, but softer. I really don’t know if you can just cut open an aloe and eat it, or if you must first process it. Weird but wonderful! Now you know, aloe is not just for cuts and scrapes, it is for eating, too!

Hey! Good news! The school came through with our documents. Now we just need to wait on our visa and plane tickets!

Phil, my boyfiend, loved those aloe drinks, but I never really got into them. I think it was the floating bits that turned me off. I have promised myself that when I return, that I will be more open to new foods and drinks. Last time I was way too picky. Guess I will be joining you soon! And yes, we’ll have to meet up. You probably know all the ins and outs of Linyi.

It’s weird but then a lot of people were claiming that it’s one good prevention for illnesses. And besides there’s nothing wrong if you will just try it, it doesn’t poisoned or cause you harm either. Let’s be more open with things which we might not never knew will help you.

Agree we should be more open to things – which is why I’m in China!
