A Mother Nature’s gift

We are talking about Aloe Vera Barbadensis Miller, with its yellow flower, the most complete in active substances between the three hundred varieties of Aloe that exist. Only a score of them are Aloe Vera, which means they have at least some of the active substances mentioned; and no more than 4 or 5 are used in pharmacy and cosmetics. Althought belonging to the leek and onion’s family (Liliaceae), more romantically called the Desert Iris, its use is not exactly to be inside a salad; in fact, the flavour is not one of the bests.
