Aloe vera is a thick, short-stemmed plant that stores water in its leaves. The gel contains most of the bioactive compounds in the plant, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants.

Aloe vera cultivated for agricultural and medicinal uses.

How to harvest the plant

1. Remove 3-4 leaves at a time, choosing thick leaves from the outer sections of the plant.

2. Ensure the leaves are healthy and free of any mold or damage.

3. Cut them close to the stem. Most of the beneficial nutrients are found at the base of the leaves.

4. Trim the prickly edges with a knife, separate the interior gel from the outside of the leaf.

5. Allow the yellow sap to drain from the leaf. This is the aloe vera latex. 

6. Cut the aloe gel into slices.
