FAQ Firstly, we call it 'ALOE WATER' because it is the pure gel which is then diluted with about 50% water or the amount that suits your taste. A 50% dilution is considered ideal for regular consumption. Will bottled aloe have the same benefits? Imported juice available in New Zealand has been made from either powdered (freeze dried) or pasturised juice. These two processes eliminate approximately 75% of the enzymes, vitamins and minerals which are the greatest health benefits of aloes synergetic mystery. Fresh aloe gel from the leaf is by far the best whenever possible and has far greater benefits - and it is so simple to make. Enquire about concentrated pure juice. How often should I drink aloe water? It is best to drink aloe water every day or as often as possible for optimal benefits and is better taken on an empty stomach. Is this safe for pregnant women? It is safe during pregnancy but ensure the piece of gel is well rinsed. Under a kitchen tap is fine. If the gel is not well rinsed it can have a bitterness which baby will likely screw his or her nose at. A bit like the effect of a lemon. Can I mix aloe gel with juice or smoothie or add lemon or honey to it? Aloe has the most therapeutic benefits by itself or in water, but you certainly can blend it into a juice or smoothie if you would like or add some lemon and honey. What specific type of aloe plant is used? Look for the edible variety, Aloe Barbadensis-Miller. Like most things in NZ it takes a long time for people to accept. Ordering directly from us (AloeFresh) guarantees you are getting the correct variety however Organic stores are gradually understanding the value of the plant so stock is growing nationwide. Ask for it at Health Stores and this will naturally create a growing availability. NZ is way behind the rest of the world in regards to the health benefits of the plant. It is not native to New Zealand. Our stalls at markets have a 'no questions asked' clientele of Asian, Caribbean, Middle-East, European, American, South American and African shoppers. Can I drink this any time of day? Aloe water is most beneficial on an empty stomach, but you will still get benefits drinking it any time of day. Can I freeze the aloe? It’s best fresh. You can store the leaves in the refrigerator and fillet off a piece of aloe when you want to make aloe water. The filleted sections can be freezed . Does the water need to be chilled? No, room temperature water is fine. Should I drink aloe water after celery juice in the morning or alternate the two? If you are drinking celery juice on an empty stomach in the morning, you can drink aloe water after it. Wait at least 15-30 minutes after celery juice. Is it safe while breastfeeding? Yes, it’s safe for both mother and baby but bear in mind that the gel should be very thoroughly rinsed of the sap.

Mature 3+ years old.
Mature plants also produce pups/plantets. Outer leaves are about 65cm long and largest leaves are about 95cm long.
Growing a plant for home use needs to be seriously considered. The medicinal aloe vera plant does not sit (or fit) on your kitchen window sill. A very healthy mature plant (as above - 1m tall and 1m spread) will give you about 12 plus, large leaves per year plus smaller ones that are considered usable. We suggest you buy two Kgs of leaves to introduce yourself to the personality and character of Aloe Barbadensis and then see what usage seems to suit you. A leaf will last about three weeks if kept in a cool environment, for example a pantry floor. They do not deteriorate to a point of loosing their health giving properties in that time. Thereafter the leaf will slowly lose its qualities.
After looking at your usage you then do the sums and see if a plant is the way to proceed. It takes a one year old plant (which is the minimum size we sell) approximately three full summers to mature however leaves can be carefully harvested after two years. Plants take little room when first planted but will require a full square meter once mature.
