There are more than 500 species of ornamental aloe, but only a dozen species can be used as medicine, and few species can be eaten. Most experts who study aloe are cautious about aloe. Professor Zhu Liangfeng from South China Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences recently tested the juice of Aloe vera, and concluded that it is non-toxic, teratogenic and mutagenic. In other words, the peeled fresh leaves of aloe can be eaten as food. In addition, aloe cultivated by Shanghai Agricultural College is also edible. As an ornamental plant, aloe vera is generally not used as medicine. For example, Aloe vera, a city that never sleeps, has beautiful flowers and is called noble aloe vera. For example, dried aloe vera, also known as Cui Hua palm, has bright red flowers and irregular white stripes on its leaves, which is very beautiful. These two kinds of aloe are ornamental plants, which can't be eaten or used as medicine. In Japan, there are aloe cuttlefish fried tomatoes, aloe scrambled eggs, aloe salad, aloe noodles and so on. On 1995 China Guangzhou Food Festival, Guangzhou Restaurant and Panxi Restaurant introduced aloe dishes, such as ham stewed aloe, ham stewed aloe and Sibao aloe soup. Stewed aloe with ham in Guangzhou restaurant is especially popular with many gourmets. In the past two years, the fashion of eating aloe has also emerged in Northeast China, but aloe is only used as a side dish and must be peeled. It is forbidden to eat aloe during pregnancy and menstrual period. Professor Yang Jianrong from Institute of Vegetables and Flowers, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences reminds us that we must be careful when eating aloe. Aloe rhein contained in aloe has a laxative effect, and eating too much will inevitably lead to diarrhea. Pan, a young woman in Tianjin, has been worried about acne on her face. I heard that eating aloe is useful. She went to the market and bought three plants. First, she squeezed juice at home, and then she ate the mesophyll of three aloe plants in one breath. Results She suffered from abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea in the middle of the night, accompanied by hematemesis and bloody stool, and was rescued. At present, the research shows that aloe has the function of clearing away heat and toxic materials, and has its unique curative effect in anti-cancer and beauty. However, different varieties of aloe have great differences in medicinal properties and efficacy, and people with different constitutions will have different effects when using aloe. Although aloe can be eaten, not everyone can eat it casually. People and children with weak constitution should not eat more, otherwise they may be allergic, and their skin will be red, swollen and rough, even nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Pregnant women and menstruating women are forbidden to use aloe, because aloe will make women's internal organs congested and promote uterine contraction. Pregnant women and menstruating women can easily cause abdominal pain and lower body bleeding. People with hemorrhoid bleeding and nosebleeds should not take aloe either, otherwise it will aggravate the condition. . com/taste/tabu/2003/09/ 12/ 1266269 . shhtml
