🌱 A Note on Harvesting Aloe
When using aloe from your own plant:
- Choose mature, thick leaves near the base.
- Cut the leaf and let the yellow sap drain (that’s the latex – don’t use it!).
- Peel the green skin and scoop out the clear gel.
Store the gel in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
