Today， I wants to introduce a trick to you. I bought a very large aloe vera. Please look at this, very big.
Approximately 10 cm wide. It's about 60 cm long, it's a very big one, it's very beautiful.
Today, I want to tell you how to prepare the aloe and I will deal with it now.
Then, we can add it to drinks or make dishes.
About aloe, you may have heard of it. Aloe vera is a treasure, a very good medicinal material, and a very good beauty food.
In addition, if you have some skin damage, after using aloe vera, it can promote wound healing and
promote skin repair. Some people call it a natural plant with regeneration function.
Therefore, if you grow aloe vera at home, or often buy some such aloe on the market.
It is very beneficial to add it to your drink or to cook it (Note: do not eat too many as it could cause problem).
First of all, because this aloe vera is very large, we have to wash it thoroughly.
In addition, there are many spines on both sides of aloe vera. This thorn should be removed. Then the skin of aloe vera , in
fact, the skin of aloe vera has a certain degree of toxicity. It cannot be used, eaten, or applied to the skin, all of which are harmful.
Therefore, we have to remove this skin and only use the inner flesh. Let's start now.
First of all, let's wash this aloe vera on water.
After washing it, you can't eat the place below. This place must be cut off.
Close up! Now, I am going to cut it into pieces.
Then, cut off the thorns on both sides of the side.
Okay, then you can see it, this is aloe vera. Divided. Very good, right?
Now, I want to cut off the thorns on both sides. Then, peel off the skin. This aloe vera will be very clean,
because this aloe may be eaten raw. Remember to keep it clean during the processing.
Okay, let's put this aside for now. We are going to cut off this thorn.
You can see that after the thorn is cut off, it looks like this.
In this way, the entire skin can be easily peeled off. I use the tip of this knife, along this skin.
You can see, I used a knife to run a thin layer along the skin. Cut it off slowly.
The whole piece of skin has been cut off. Then, follow the skin below.
Well, everyone can see, the whole piece of shiny aloe vera has been cut.
Rinse again on top of water. Because this aloe may be eaten raw, I use a new board specifically.
Rinse the knife. The hygiene of this food is very important. Wash your hands.
If I put it in the drink, then cut it into small dices.
Okay, after cutting it into small dices, I will store it in this glass container.
After the first one is done, let's take a look at the second one and prepare it all at once.
This time I change the method, I cut from above so that I can get there.
Follow the direction of the skin and dial it down.
Here is the same, follow the direction of the skin, and then dial this edge for him first.
Then, follow this skin. Cut it off a little bit. In this way, it is not easy to have skin residues.
In the same way, I can cut this side. I also reformed it
and opened it with my thumb and index finger, so that there was a certain tension between it. In this way, you take this knife with a light stroke.
The knife can follow the skin and cut it all off.
As I said, I am considering using this aloe directly as a cold drink.
So, I try to keep the meat here away from the big cutting board.
Look, my second piece of skin is more complete. In addition, there is no skin residue on both sides.
In fact, I recommend that you eat aloe vera raw. Because in the process of cooking and heating.
Some nutrients may be destroyed, so it is better to eat raw.
You can buy some aloe drinks on the street. But the aloe drink is not fresh.
Some anti-corrosion substances may be added to it, so it is not very good.
The fresh aloe drink we make at home is healthier.
You can see that in the process of cutting, our technology is also constantly improving.
This third one, see if it's easier when I cut it than before.
First of all, draw a knife on this side. Use this thumb. Flip it up and give it a little more tension.
Then, the knife on the right cuts down the skin. In fact, you don't need to use too much force.
Because my left hand already gave it some tension, it opened with a little force.
Everyone can look at the place where the knife is almost ready. Obviously I can see such a gap.
Then gently put it on top of this board, open it, and it looks very beautiful.
In the same way, let's draw a knife on this side first. In the same way, use your thumb and index finger to separate the skin of the aloe vera.
Give it a little tension between them. Then the 3 fingers below bend the aloe vera in this direction.
In this way, the above aloe vera itself is walking in the direction of my right, and I can feel it when it is almost below.
Then, I will use this board again. You can press it like this with a knife to make it easier to see.
With a slight push and pull, it is completely removed. Or what I emphasized earlier, because of the raw food?
This food hygiene is very important, so everyone must remember it.
I use these 2 cutting boards separately. The cutting board below is in contact with the skin, but try to avoid 2 contaminations.
This time, I will improve my cutting method. I only cut this side open to see if this reduces some of the procedures.
First, I use a knife to swipe down between the skin and the flesh. Then, break it apart with your hands.
In this way, I reach the bottom. Because now my side is not completely cut.
So, I broke it up like this. Along this direction, see the skin, the skin along the direction it plans to open
it so I can have this layer of skin to protect my hand. Because some friends may not be particularly confident with a knife.
In this way, your hands are always on the outside of the skin. This is relatively less dangerous.
If you are still not at ease, hold this knife in your hand. You can put the board under the head,
everyone can see, you push it down with a knife, and press it out.
Then, when you see where it is connected, you swipe it with a knife, and it falls by itself. Look, is this more convenient?
This time, I cut this aloe vera into long strips. If I want to use the aloe vera dish.
I can make rectangular ones. My aloe vera is also put in this lunch box and kept separately.
Because the amount of aloe vera is quite large, you may not be able to finish it. When fresh aloe vera is eaten, it sometimes has a bitter taste.
Therefore, if you want to eat fresh aloe vera, you generally need to add some honey or add some sugar.
It tastes better in this way. You can also soak aloe vera in water for a while. In this way, it will not taste so bitter.
Of course, when soaking, some nutrients will also be lost. Therefore, it is best to eat fresh.
If it feels bitter at first, you can eat less. Because aloe vera has a mild laxative effect,
the amount should not exceed 30 grams at a time, that is, the amount should not be too large.
If you feel mild diarrhea after eating aloe vera, you should actually stop or reduce the dose.
Aloe vera has certain medicinal value, and mild diarrhea is good for the body.
This can help you get rid of some toxic and stagnant substances in your body.
Next, I add aloe vera to Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola itself also has a bitter taste.
It has a foaming agent, after adding aloe vera, the bitter taste is not so obvious.
At the same time, the medicinal effect of eating aloe vera is achieved. This is added to the Coke, it looks pretty good.
Now, this is mango juice.
Add some aloe vera. The gel of aloe vera is very sticky.
I have mango juice here, with a small piece of aloe vera on it.
It tastes very good when eaten. Coupled with this mango juice, it is not that bitter.
So, this is also very good.
