Its minerals, vitamins, proteins, protective resins and polysaccharides make it one of the plants with the greatest benefits for the organism and human health.
Activation of the immune system, effective against diabetes and constipation are some of the benefits of the already considered superfood of the moment. At this point we are talking about superfood, which encompasses all those foods that provide beneficial nutrients and antioxidants for health.
How does aloe vera taste?
Once we have removed the bitter part of the plant, called aloin, the taste of aloe vera is virtually imperceptible, perhaps with a bitter touch with a slight herbaceous flavor.
Apart from its nutritional properties, it is also gelifying, stabilizing and emulsifying, allowing to improve the textures of the ingredients without modifying its flavor.
Many people use the plant as a supplement in a balanced diet because it promotes normal cholesterol levels, promotes cardiovascular health, aids digestion and strengthens the immune system.
How to take it?
If you are looking for your own recipes with this superfood, you only have to peel the leaves well, without leaving any traces of green peel, and leave them to soak for at least one night.
Once this is done, aloe vera must be treated like any other vegetable, even if it can consume the flowers of the plant, keeping its properties intact.
At this point, from Atlantia we recommend taking special care when taking aloe vera in children and pregnant women because we do not know 100% of its effects in this band.
Superfood quality
In this particular case we must make sure that we are taking aloe vera of quality and that it has been cultivated in the best conditions.
This is the case of Atlantia, products whose main raw material is the aloe vera cultivated in the Canary Islands. The climate of the Canary Islands ensures that the plant grows with 100% natural active ingredients and minerals.
