Lately I have noticed that my local grecery store has begun to carry Aloe leaves. Not the litttle petite one you grow in a pot on the window sill, but giant 3 footers! What to you cook that requires a 3 foot aloe leaf?
Do you cook with Aloe leaves?

Do you think it could be used to wrap around something before it is baked/roasted/grilled?

Why would anyone want to eat jiggly slimy aloe. Now I won't even be able to eat Jello.

I haven't heard of cooking with aloe until now , only drinking aloe juice and the topical usages. There's definite nutritional value, so why not!
Having a quick look at how aloe vera is used from a cooking perspective, it seems to be with beverages and in 'dessert' forms (cubes of the peeled aloe leaf)... Makes sense. It reminds me a little of nata de coco. So maybe a good addition to beverages like bubble tea, etc.
We actually have big aloe plants in our garden... and now I'm starting to have ideas....

potsnpanties please let us know your ideas come out. I am really puzzled on the use aloe in cooking.
My mom had a rare autoimune desease that affected her skin. She used to drink the juice, and also buy the aloe to rub on her skin. The doctor told her that it was better than lotions. But not once did she EAT it.
Aloe Jello. Now there's an idea...Yep, that's what made me

Maybe it's just me, I don't see a huge difference between drinking and eating it doesn't seem that terrible.
If I can find the darn plant (we have so many succulents it's hard to point out which is the aloe and which is a plant that simply looks like it... not something you want to mistake) I'll test it out as a bubble tea filler like nata de coco is used and I'll let you know!
