Answer 1

use the gel out of the biggest outside leaves

Answer 2

Cutting off one of the older leaves toward the base of the plant, then when you take it in to the house trim off the edges of the leaf because they are sharp. Then as you use it you can then cut off a piece. You can even break up the leaf in to smaller pieces. To make sure that the gel stays working well put the leaf on a piece of paper towel and on a plate and then put it in the fridge. The cold keeps the gel working good.

Aloe vera is very, very good for burns as the first poster said. This is why sometimes in some products you will see it combined with Vitamin E because they are both very good healing agents.

Answer 3

Betty Glorian of OCEAN PARKWAY Florist & Fruit Baskets NY :

There are two parts to an aloe vera leaf: Gel and leaf juice (not to be confused with aloe juice in stores). The gel is what most people are familiar with. It’s the odorless and clear liquid at the innermost part of the leaf. Aloe latex, or juice, seeps from the leaf when cut. It’s yellow in color and has a bitter taste. When ingesting aloe, the gel is the safest part of the plant. The latex has laxative properties and can cause serious health complications if used too often.
